Chapter 26 Urban Legends

Previous Chapter

The geographical coordinates "66Β°45' N, 54Β°66' W" are the central point of a 1,208 kmΒ² miniature continental island. It does not belong to any country, it is located on an independent and narrow plate at the junction of the American plate and the Eurasian plate, and on the Arctic Circle.

The world has taken a tacit view of the Aglia occupation of the island, and has named the island "Aglia".

Some of those who are obsessed with the geography are annoyed by the fact that they never have the opportunity to set foot in the area again and take a photo log to share with their friends.

Boakye also seemed happy to inform the world about the islands, so he didn't shoot down the drones that the world's major media sent around the surrounding air. Just 10 minutes after Jill and the others finished their dinner, the drone captured a pangolin-like beast flattening the highest mountain on the south side of the island, filling in two deep ravines with those earth and rocks, and the Asians cut the trees of the two adjacent mountains in half with their bare hands, and at the same time, four shuttles flew out of the Aglia spacecraft one after another, flying in four directions.

Moreover, at 17:55 on the 18th, Diana received a text message from K, which told her to follow Dam (looking for one of her bodyguards) to take a helicopter.

This was the first time K had contacted her via text message, indicating that her father was very angry about it. She knew exactly what her father's temperament would do if she didn't, and then her efforts to hide her identity would be in vain.

So, at 6 p.m., she left the Tenjin Underground Mall and took a helicopter back to Washington D.C.

"Daddy, don't be angry." At the dinner table, Diana sat on K's right side, grinning as she held up a bottle of white wine and poured wine into K's goblet. Daddy, try it and see if my cooking skills have regressed. ”

"Daddy." Diana yelled at K.

"I can't help you." K's always serious face finally bloomed with a bright smile. He cut a small piece of steak, put it in his mouth, and tasted it.

"How?" Diana asked.

"On the contrary, there is progress." K put down the steel fork, wiped his lips with a napkin, and then raised his wine glass, "These days, you just stay at home obediently, and if you are bored, you will go shopping on the street and buy yourself some beautiful clothes." It's time to give yourself a holiday. ”

With that, he raised his glass and took a sip.

"I can promise you, but I can't let people follow, not far away."

"Okay." K replied.

On the 21st, a clear day, Diana persuaded K to send her back to New York by helicopter. On her first leg off the plane, she went to 35 Orange Street and accidentally discovered Charlie's underground vault. In the basement, she saw the auxiliary equipment of the "Shenyuan Robot", the two computers turned on, and the ashtray densely stuffed with yellow cigarette butts.

The cigarette butts on top of the ashtray and the ash that fell on the surrounding table were new, indicating that Charlie was indeed still in New York.

"He didn't lie to me." Diana thought.

She took out her phone and dialed Nodia. But at that time, Nodia and Jill were partying, and she called six times, and there was no answer on Nodia's side.

Half an hour later, Nodia called back. He had Diana picked up in a car and taken to a speakeasy.

"How can you come to the bar, and it's still this time." Standing at the entrance of the doorway down the steps, Diana asked.

"The bar can also talk about things. The bar is a legend in the industry and has not been open for more than a month. Now there is an endless stream of people coming, and there is a limit of seats every day, and I finally managed to grab five places in the afternoon. As a result, none of them came, hey. Nodia said with chagrin.

"So, you're pulling me here?" Diana asked rhetorically.

"You can't waste a place." Nodia took a step down to stand on the second step, then turned sideways and said, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I've used all my connections to help you find Charlie. Drink and drink, and the news you want arrives. ”

"Okay." Diana nodded, then followed Nodia into the bar.

She ordered a glass of sake and sat quietly on the sofa. She likes to be quiet when she's alone, so she doesn't like to go out into a noisy place like a bar. Now, she has only one thought, and that is to wait for Charlie's news so as to get the corresponding news material.

However, the news has not come for a long time. At that time, she looked at the time, and she and Nodia had been in the bar for 2 hours.

"How long will we have to wait?" Diana couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, but it's not good news. Charlie is addicted to drugs and will regularly go to the underground drug market to buy drugs. This time, my people didn't even find out about his whereabouts. When Nodia spoke, he was a little happy in his heart, "But don't worry, my people are still scattered outside, and I will definitely help you find him." Wait and wait, let me ask you two questions, okay? ”

"Say hello." Diana turned to look at Nodia.

"First, how did you track down Charlie?" Nodia asked.

"Five minutes after the explosion, I quietly avoided the mech patrol and infiltrated the room where I was staying in Lisbon, and found a force sensor with the 'Liman' logo underneath the partition wall to the right of the bombed room. You must not have imagined that although 'Liman' is an obscure and self-operated machinery shop, it has a lot of customers, and we investigated them one by one, and finally locked Charlie. ”

"Understood. Second, can you tell me who you are? Nodia asked.

"This question has already been answered to you, no, it's you, I'm just an ordinary expatriate reporter from a cutting-edge newspaper." As she spoke, Diana deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "ordinary".

Nodia shook her head left and right, and at the same time held the wine glass and put it on the sofa: "On the way to pick up Gil at the JA headquarters building in the morning, I saw a military helicopter landing in the Mecca Building, and on the way back, I saw you appear near the building. So, naturally, I connected you together. ”

"Does it really matter who I am?" Diana muttered.

"I don't like to be tricked. If we're already friends, you should confess something to me. ”

"Okay...... My father was K, the Federal President of the United States. My dream is to be a journalist, but I don't want to be accommodating to me because of my father's relationship, my boss and my colleagues, and I can't really experience the bitterness and pride of being a journalist. I also want to be an ordinary person without restraint and make friends in the most ordinary way. Diana's raised eyebrows drooped for the first time.

"You're thinking too much. I can't tell if they're good bosses and co-workers, but I can say that you're not good friends. Nodia exclaimed.

"You're not referring to yourself, are you?" Diana laughed.

"Doesn't it count?" Nodia laughed too. He poured some wine into Diana's empty glass, then raised it and touched hers. As soon as he brought the wine glass to his lips, the phone he had placed on the table suddenly vibrate.

Diana immediately sat up straight.

"Satin sent a message that they had spotted Charlie at JFK, but the prey was lost just as they were about to catch it." Nodia picked up her phone and told Diana about the text message, and after making up her mind, she said, "As long as we can be sure that Charlie went there to buy a plane ticket, we will definitely catch him." ”

As soon as Nodia's words fell, Lisa sent the results of the investigation: Charlie used a pseudonym of "Zachary" to buy a flight to Melbourne at 9:20 tomorrow.

"Good deeds are done to the end. I'll take you to the airport tomorrow. ”

"In return, I'll pick a good place to treat you to dinner in the evening." Diana said.

"It's better to be respectful."

Jill booked her flight from JFK to Los Angeles International Airport online at 9:25 a.m. on the 22nd a day in advance. On the 22nd, he arrived at the airport 50 minutes early, queued up to get a ticket from the automatic ticket machine and walked into the large passage on the left, and at this time, on the right side, Charlie, who hid his face under a big hat, squeezed through the crowd and ran towards him, making a lot of noise along the way. He looked over and immediately recognized that the two people chasing after him were none other than Nodia and Diana, who had a relationship.

"This kind of scene is a bit familiar." Jill thought to himself.

"Jill, help me stop him." Nodia shouted. His shout pulled Jill's mind back for a moment.

Jill saw the opportunity, first took a sideways step, and then swept the hall leg to knock Charlie to the ground. Nodia then arrived, holding Charlie in a gentle grip so that he didn't have a chance to run away again.

The four of them found a relatively less crowded position on the side and stood around.

"Charlie, in order not to delay your boarding, I will get straight to the point." Nodia directed Charlie's gaze to Diana, who was already ready to say something, "Her name is Diana, she is a journalist, and she wants to ask you something about the explosion on the floor of the hotel where you are staying in Lisbon. ”

"I don't have anything to say." Charlie simply refused. Yesterday, he came home from buying cigarettes and found through the hidden surveillance port on his computer that someone had broken into his home again after a few days, and this person was Diana, whom he had just bumped into around the corner. To his surprise, Nodia had come with her.

"The report doesn't say a word about you." Diana's persuasion.

Charlie remained silent.

"It's been an open secret in the world that Lisbon is a member of the Ink Gang. As a journalist, I want to uncover the shady scenes of a gangster who can become a high-level executive of the Economic Development Bureau, and completely expose the minds of those people who play with the lights to the eyes of the world. Diana fell silent, her eyes became a little red, "10 years ago, my mother and younger brother were accidentally involved in a gang fight with the Mo Gang when they were out and were shot to death. But until now, the murderer has not been brought to justice. What I want to do is to make the Ink Gang pay the price they deserve! ”

Just when the other three didn't know what to do, Diana said in a calm tone, "So, I hope you can grant my request." ”

"Okay, I said." A minute later, Charlie took off his hat and compromised.

Diana, dressed in loose feminine casual clothes, habitually took out a small notepad and a pen from her trouser pocket.

"Five years ago, I came to New York and met two brothers, Su Fang and Su Yuan. They opened a bun shop, and I was a regular customer of them, and we became friends as soon as we came and went. At that time, Lisbon was just the leader of a few members of the Ink Gang, and they were in the area of Chinatown every day. Unexpectedly, he had bad thoughts about Su Yuan's fiancΓ©e, and one day he defiled her in front of Su Yuan in the bun shop, and broke one of Su Yuan's legs. The two of them wanted revenge all the time and killed him. ”

"Just a few days ago, in order to prevent Su Yuan from putting his life in, Su Fang found me and connected to the Shenyuan robot to go to the hotel where I stayed in Lisbon. Little did he know that Lisbon would use his body as a lead to detonate the bomb hidden in the house. The Shenyuan robot was blown up, and the spirit and internal organs of the Soviet side were seriously affected by this. ”

"There has long been an urban legend of 'Nano Bomberman' in New York. The Soviet side speculated that Lisbon's death was inseparable from the nano bomber, and the Mo gang should be behind the nano bomberman. ”

"That's all I know."

Charlie silently passed halfway between Nodia and Gil and walked towards the security checkpoint.

"I've been to the security check, too." Jill said goodbye to Nodia and Diana and headed to another security checkpoint.

At the moment when Jill was lined up, Nodia received a text message from Charlie, which said: Diana is not as simple as it seems, you have to be careful!

Nodia smiled inwardly and replied to Charlie with the words "Okay, thank you".

That night, Diana logged on to New York's largest instant chat forum called "Levi Anson", and took the opportunity to enter "Nano Bomberman" with the Ink Gang as a topic, making "Nano Bomberman" the hottest topic on it, rising from eighth to second place in the urban legend rankings.

The reason why she chose to do that was to create a kind of public opinion pressure on the Mo Gang through the Internet, so that the Mo Gang could take action.

But day after day passed, and by the fifth day, it still hadn't happened as she had planned.

She gradually stopped expecting anything from it.

At 13 o'clock on the sixth day, under a building in Manhattan's CBD, a middle-aged man who was walking and drinking coffee suddenly stopped in the crowd, and his body became red and rapidly swollen in a few seconds, and then exploded into a burst of blood mist; At 9 o'clock on the seventh day, another man died, and the same death; The same is true on the eighth, ninth, and tenth days. The incident lasted a total of 5 days.

Netizens on the "Levi Anson" forum began to discuss, with all kinds of remarks, such as, "Didn't someone mention it before, he has a relationship with the Ink Gang, that is, eighty percent of these dead are on the Ink Gang bounty list." Nano Bomberman's indiscriminate killing is simply nonsense! "I gave him a resounding name: The New York Ripper." "The nanobomberman is a free yearner, but he won't be a bounty hunter." "Give it to me. I said he was a judge, and he really came. "No, no, no, he's a careful eye. He must have taken revenge on us if he said so many bad things about him. "Wait.
