Chapter 155: Suicide Forest

Since he was not a professional, Hugo applied to his superiors and called in a code-cracking expert, and after several hours of research, the cracking expert finally made progress, and preliminarily judged that it was likely to be a set of geographic coordinate codes.

Although Hugo said a word, I knew that the cracking work must be extremely complicated and tedious.

Hugo said that they boldly predicted that the email was sent by Shen Mengzhe, a student of Feng Jiutian. With Feng Jiutian's understanding of Shen Mengzhe, he used this method to contact Feng Jiutian, and it was likely that he had encountered an accident, so he wanted to use this set of numbers to tell Feng Jiutian where he was.

Following this line of thinking, the cracking experts moved closer to the direction of geographical coordinates. In the end, I really found out the potential pattern of this string of numbers and obtained a complete geographical coordinates.

Hugo taps on the computer keyboard, opens a map of the world, and says to us: "According to the cracked coordinates, the place is here." With that, he hit the enter key hard, and a red dot appeared on the map on the screen.

"In Japan!" I blurted out. Even though Japan is very small on the world map, I recognize it at a glance.

"That's right! It's Japan! Hugo said. He operated the computer again, and the map began to zoom in partially, showing a map of the whole of Japan, and the red dot was located in the middle of the whole of Japan.

"Is this ......" Qixing seemed to look at the location of the red dot with some familiarity, "Could it be...... Mount Fuji? Seven Stars said with some surprise at the end.

Hugo said: "Yes, but not precisely enough. He zoomed in on the map again and told us, "To be exact, it should be the sea of trees in Aokigahara at the foot of Mt. Fuji." It also has another nickname, which you should all have heard, and that is 'Suicide Forest'. ”

All of us, except Hugo, were taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the location displayed by the coordinates was actually a suicide forest known as "the most terrifying place in the world".

Japan's Suicide Forest, whose real name is Aokigahara Jukai, is a natural forest farm with a pleasant scenery. It has two most famous features, one is that it has beautiful scenery and can see the picturesque Mt. Fuji from the forest; The second is that there are countless people who will choose to commit suicide in the forest for no reason.

In comparison, people's strange choice to commit suicide there is far more memorable than the scenery there. Hence the name "Suicide Forest".

The history of the Suicide Forest is not short, and it is said that tens of thousands of people have taken their lives here in the past 100 years. However, the official information released by Japan is only a few hundred people, and perhaps that is only the number of bodies that can be recovered.

There are many theories, suspicions, and speculations about the suicide forest, but none of them can reasonably explain why people commit suicide here.

Therefore, the suicide forest has also become a major mystery of the world.

As far as we know, it is generally accepted that the people who commit suicide here are caused by excessive stress, and have nothing to do with resentment, curses, or anything else. However, this statement is really unconvincing.

Because not only there are strange suicides here, but even many people who come to visit and travel have disappeared into this forest.

Tourists will definitely not commit suicide, but they also have a strange consequence of not seeing people alive and dead without seeing corpses.

It is said that the compass will fail as soon as it enters the forest, and it is easy to lose your sense of direction. Scientists say that it is the effect of underground volcanic lava and magnetic fields, but not many people believe this claim.

Anyway, there are too many rumors about it, true and false, and I can't tell the difference after so many years.

"Is there a mistake?" I asked, even though Hugo was sure of the outcome of the number crack, but I questioned it.

I think it's a forest farm, how could Shen Mengzhe run there for no reason? This simply does not make sense.

Although Tokyo is not far from Mt. Fuji, I can't think of a reason why Shen Mengzhe ran to the Forest of Death. It would not be logical to say that someone had coerced him there. It is almost impossible to get out of that forest, and it is basically a place where there is no return, and no one will easily set foot in it to find death.

I thought of several other possibilities, either Hugo and they were mistaken, or the coordinates were a trap.

If it is a trap, who is it to trap?

The coordinates are so obvious that anyone who knows a little about the situation there will never easily step into it. The premise of saving people is also to ensure their own safety first, there is such an evil door, even the local police dare not go deep, let alone outsiders?

All in all, I have absolute reservations about this outcome.

In fact, I think Hugo should have doubts about this coordinate. Although he trusts the ability of the cracking expert, the result is incredible.

When Hugo and I discussed this, the rest of the team was silent.

Now, based on just a string of numbers, such a conclusion has been reached, and it is such a strange conclusion, that no one can doubt its accuracy. But no one could come up with any other explanation, and there were too few clues to discuss the outcome at the moment.

In the end, Hugo looked at everyone and said, "So it seems that I can only go to Japan once!" ”

I asked him in amazement, "Is it just because of such uncertain information that we are going to risk our lives?" ”

Hugo replied: "No! I don't mean to target suicide forests, but to go to Japan for fieldwork. The first is to find Shen Mengzhe's whereabouts and understand the specific situation. If he is in danger, we try to rescue him. The second is to investigate the matter of weapons of mass destruction, that is, the mastermind behind Fukuda Zuo, and find out the truth of the matter. As for the Suicide Forest, you can only detect from the side and not risk your life. ”

Qixing said at this time: "Should this matter be handed over to the people of the Ministry of State Security to solve?" She paused, then added, "After all, we're D.R.T., not agents!" ”

Hugo listened to Qixing's words and his eyes swept over all of our faces, "Is this the idea for everyone?" Hugo asked us in a low tone.

I said, "Don't mind, Hugo, I think Seven Stars has a point." This kind of foreign-related investigation and intelligence gathering operation is indeed more suitable for national security agents, and they have professional training in this area. We're not good at this kind of work! ”

Hugo sat down and said to us: "Teammates! I understand what you're saying. If you look at the whole thing purely on the surface, it may be more appropriate to leave it to national security. But I would like to ask you to think about what the purpose of our D.R.T. is. ”

Seeing that we were silent, Hugo said again: "According to my understanding of national security, if Shen Mengzhe was really trapped in the suicide forest, and they had no experience in dealing with this situation, they would never venture into the rescue." ”

As he spoke, Hugo turned on his computer and searched for it, and then a picture of a teenager appeared on the screen. Looking eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing sweatpants and a sports T-shirt, smiling innocently at the camera, and gesturing with a cheesy and versatile scissor hand in his right hand.

"Our dispatch is only aimed at special environments and regions, and does not involve espionage operations. We can use this reason to blame the state security. Hugo said, looking at the photo.

"But everyone overlooks the fact that D.R.T's ultimate mission is to defend the country and defend the country's important assets. Perhaps because of our current hesitation and prevarication, this boy will die. He will die at the hands of our enemies, but indirectly at our hands! Hugo's voice suddenly increased.

"Because when we had the opportunity to save him, we chose to retreat." Hugo pointed to the picture and asked, "Is this what you want to see?" Have you been frightened by the rumors of the Suicide Forest? ”

When Hugo said this, I don't think the truth is wrong, but I don't really agree with his point of view!

This Shen Mengzhe is very important, and his scientific talent may be the second Feng Jiutian in the future, and he can create countless scientific miracles for the country.

Moreover, he, a student studying abroad, was able to find out the news about the spy and try to inform his country by all means, regardless of courage, wisdom, and patriotism, which are all admirable qualities.

But I don't think that's the reason why we should go out.

First, we have too little information. Now all we know is the string of numbers, and even whether the numbers represent coordinates or not cannot be 100% confirmed.

Besides, we haven't confirmed whether Shen Mengzhe is in danger or not, so it would be a little hasty to act so rashly. What's more, this time it was a mission abroad, which was very sensitive. Whenever there is a little trouble, it can attract huge international public opinion.

In recent years, China has developed rapidly, far beyond the imagination of other countries in the world. Even in some areas of science and technology, China has come from behind and is already a world leader.

Such a rapid momentum has made us, a mysterious country in the East with a history of 5,000 years, attract the attention of all parties around the world, and be vigilant!

In this environment, there are too many eyes staring at our every move. Even the slightest disturbance in our country will attract international attention. It will even be distorted and speculated by people with bad intentions and maliciously slandered in order to curb our progress.

So now as long as there are Chinese in the world, they will become the focus and attract much attention.

The grudge between Japan and Japan has accumulated over many years. Needless to say, everyone knows what the relationship is. Our hasty presence in Japan is bound to arouse suspicion.

Therefore, I do not recommend entering another country when the situation is not clear.

It's not that I'm afraid of responsibility, it's not that I'm afraid of being responsible, it's that as the captain of D.R.T., I have to be responsible for all the players.

We are not afraid of death, but we must not die in vain!

Therefore, I believe that before carrying out a rescue mission, it is important to confirm the clarity of the mission's objectives.

In other words, if it can be confirmed that Shen Mengzhe is really trapped in the suicide forest, we will immediately set off to rescue without hesitation. Even if it is a place of death, we will not retreat, because it is our duty.

But now we don't know for sure!

Previously, Hugo said that he had mobilized our manpower in Japan to confirm Shen Mengzhe's situation. But for a few days, no news came back. Can't they even find out about an international student?

So all of this, I still boldly raised objections to Hugo. I suggest that Hugo better wait and wait for our people to confirm Shen Mengzhe's news before making a decision on whether to act or not.

At the same time, there is another thing that struck me as strange, Hugo has always been steady and never rash. I don't know why this time it seems so urgent, so unusual.
