Chapter 288 Eggs

The detection system showed that the content of toxic substances in the room had reached a level that a normal person could breathe, considering that this toxic gas was extremely violent, Xia Fei still pulled out a gas mask and put it on for the sake of caution.

When the door is opened, the high-intensity exhaust fan hums, and a large amount of air is quickly discharged into the universe while the air generation unit replenishes it with new air.

Raising his arm and glancing at the value of the air detection device, Xia Fei walked into the room in a few steps.

The mahogany box lay reclining on the table, revealing a slight slit through which the poisonous gas flowed.

At this time, the poisonous gas inside the box had been discharged, and there was not much threat to the human body, Xia Fei straightened it with his hand with heavy protective gloves, let out a long breath, and then lifted the lid of the box.

I saw that there was a metal can about the size of toothpaste in the box, the exquisite mechanical structure was integrated with the combination lock, if the password was entered to open the box, the poisonous gas would not be released, on the contrary, if the password was entered three times in a row, or the password lock was unscrewed like Xia Fei, it would cause a large amount of poisonous gas to be released, causing strong damage to the surrounding environment.

Other than that, there was nothing in the box.

Xia Fei thought about it, took the box into the bathroom and rinsed it repeatedly with the disinfectant that had been prepared, and at the same time dismantled the toxic gas tank inside, after cleaning it about three times, the detector's index showed that the box had been cleaned and cleaned, without any poison remaining, and if you wanted, you could even use it to drink eight-treasure porridge.

It can be seen that although this poison gas is violent, it is not impossible to get rid of it, and the designer's goal is to kill and injure the people who move the box in a short time, rather than turning the area where the box is located directly into a barren land.

Walking out of the room, the alloy sealed door was immediately closed, Xia Fei took off his gas mask and gloves, took the box in his hand and walked into the lounge.

"What's in the box?" Shen Dong had been observing Xia Fei's actions in the control center, and when he saw Xia Fei coming out, he came to the lounge and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Xia Fei shrugged his shoulders and said.

Shen Dong was slightly stunned, "After releasing so much deadly poisonous gas, there is nothing in it?" Isn't this a prank? ”

Xia Fei smiled: "I don't think that if this is really a prank, I wouldn't have used such a deadly poison gas." ”

The mahogany box is exquisitely made, although it is not too dazzling, but the details in the corners reflect the good intentions of the maker, such a valuable box is used to hold poison gas? Xia Fei felt very abnormal.

After putting the box in front of his eyes and looking at it for a long time, Xia Fei finally found out that it was boring.

It turns out that the box has a mezzanine, and the maker cleverly takes advantage of the misunderstanding of human vision and sets up a second layer at the bottom of the box, but if you only look at it with your eyes, you can't find it at all.

The box is like a whole, and there is no switch to open the mezzanine, only to destroy the box.

Xia Fei thought for a moment and took out a dagger from the space ring, ready to pry open the box.

The poisonous gas released last time was vicious, Shen Dong wanted to stop Xia Fei, but he was quite curious if he didn't open it again, so he walked to the door and turned on the ventilation system in advance.

As for Xia Fei's safety, Shen Dong is not worried, the facts have proved that if there is a real accident, with his extraordinary speed, Xia Fei will definitely run faster than himself.

The dagger easily pried the mahogany box open, but this time it was not released, but an egg was exposed.

This egg is a little too strange, the size is like a silkworm cocoon, and the white shell is full of brilliant golden patterns, like a golden landscape painting, and the subtle and slightly warped depictions of the mountains and rivers and small bridges.

Xia Fei and Shen Dong curiously used the video system to magnify the patterns dozens of times in the light curtain, and after careful comparison, they found that these patterns were not so-called landscape paintings, but some naturally formed patterns, which were quite similar to the pictures.

"Do you know each other?" Xia Fei asked.

Shen Dong shook his head, and Xia Fei went to ask the ghost again, but he didn't know either.

Xia Fei took the egg of the white golden flower in his hand and shook it a few times, this egg is quite heavy, the shape is not as big as a thumb and the weight is indeed three catties, what is more interesting is that this egg is not only warm in his hand, but also a slight tremor will be heard, like a baby's heartbeat, rapid and weak.

"The ultra-microcomputer has ion ray scanning, so we can see through it with a particle beam to see what's inside." Shen Dong said.

Xia Fei thought for a moment, "It's not good, this egg obviously has a heartbeat, if it is some rare beast, it may be invaded by ionic rays, and if it dies, it will be worth the loss." ”

Shen Dongyi frowned, "If it's dead, it's dead, if it's a gentle little animal, it's just a disaster, if it's a fierce beast to keep." ”

"No," Xia Fei hurriedly waved his hand, "Maybe it's worth a lot of money, what a pity to die." ”

After that, Xia Fei was about to put it into the ring, but he suddenly thought that there was no air in the space ring, and it would not be good if he suffocated this unborn little beast to death, so he thought about it for a long time, and finally wrapped it gently with a piece of cotton cloth and put it in his arms.

"When we get back, find someone to see what this thing is, and then decide." Xia Fei said.

……

Under the explosive news of Eden, Xia Fei's disappearance for a few days is not so important, which is exactly what Xia Fei wants, he doesn't like to live in the spotlight.

Of course, Xia Fei's affairs are still very important to some people, such as Avril.

Shen Dong went to repair his spaceship, and the two agreed to meet at the scene of the Golden Finger Cup tomorrow morning, and out of politeness, Xia Fei also made a phone call to Yue Ge, after all, the three of them had the closest relationship during the training camp.

Yue Ge didn't care about Shen Dong's arrival, but asked about Shen Dong's work progress very unceremoniously, and Shen Dong had to vaguely cover up the past, claiming that he would set off after a break to find those strange things for Yue Ge.

After doing all this, Xia Fei came to Sunset Villa alone, Pang Xing specially sent a car to the airport to pick up Xia Fei, in fact, this is not necessary, at Xia Fei's speed, the car has not yet walked fast.

"Promise me, don't disappear casually, Miss really can't leave you now."

Pang Xing's first sentence after meeting made Xia Fei feel very aggrieved, where can he decide, trouble is everywhere, this is probably his fate, at least now it seems that Xia Fei is still far away from a stable life.

"Try your best." Xia Fei thought for a long time and couldn't find the right words to explain, so he had to say casually.

Pang Xing was a little disappointed, trying this word was not what he wanted to hear, in fact, he preferred that Xia Fei would not run around like today, it was better to be an authentic otaku, accompany Avril all day long, take care of her, and love her.

Pang Xing's intentions were good, but he didn't think about it, if Xia Fei was really a housemate, would Avril still like him?

"The old man and the old lady are here today, and the young lady knows that you can't talk to them, so let you wait for her in the gazebo by the Half Moon Lake now, and eat dinner by the lake, her etiquette course will end soon, don't be impatient." Pang Xing said.

……

Hearing the news that Xia Fei had arrived, Avril couldn't sit still anymore, and the etiquette teacher saw her thoughts, so after class early, Avril ran to the lakeside pavilion and made a very strange curtsy to Xia Fei.

"What kind of etiquette is this? It looks really peculiar. Xia Fei asked.

Avril smiled: "I just learned it today, the greeting gift of the Murphy people in the Cobalt Blue Star Domain. ”

Xia Fei nodded and didn't say anything.

As always, no matter how worried Avril was about Xia Fei, it was a private matter, and once she actually met, she would try to make herself happy.

"How are you doing these days?" Avril couldn't help but ask.

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "It's okay, if it weren't for this sudden departure, maybe I wouldn't have had a chance to see Xiaoyu." ”

"Xiaoyu" Avril was surprised, he had heard about Xiaoyu from Xia Fei a long time ago, this is also a piece of Xia Fei's heart, Avril is kind-hearted, even if there is no Xia Fei, she will not want such a thing to happen.

"Did you really see the light rain? Is she okay? Did you come back with you? ”

Xia Fei shook his head, "I saw it, but she was with someone else, and I didn't have time to talk to her, it seems that she should be doing well now, and she is a little taller than before." ”

Xia Fei briefly told Avril about seeing Xiaoyu, of course, Xia Fei didn't say anything about the bloody matrix, only said that he ran into it by accident, and he didn't have time to catch up with her and ask clearly.

Avril pursed her lips after hearing this: "Sister Xiaoyu is so pitiful, Xia Fei, you must find a way to get her back." ”

Xia Fei was stunned suddenly, nodded with a condensed expression, and said, "Definitely." ”

……

After coming out of Sunset Villa, Xia Fei went to Thuram's office again, it was late at night, and Thuram was still waiting for him in the office.

"What's the matter with looking for me so late? You're a night owl, but my old man still needs to rest. Thuram said dissatisfied: "If you have something important, you should go to see Avril first, isn't Lao Tzu important?" ”

Xia Fei lit a cigarette and didn't say anything.

Thuram withdrew his feet that had been on the table, stood up and said, "You come with me, I haven't had anyone to practice my hands and feet with me for a long time, let's talk as we walk." ”

Thuram's blonde secretary immediately went to prepare the war room, and he remained in the office so late, so it was obvious that being Thuram's secretary was not a very good job, at least not leisurely.

"You did a good job at the base camp of the Sky Hook this time, I received news that the Alliance has sent two fleets there to carry out the final clearance, and you can be regarded as a meritorious service to the Alliance." Thuram said.

Xia Fei said: "It's just a mistake, as long as there are no follow-up troubles, I have enough trouble now." ”

Thuram patted Xia Fei on the shoulder, "Don't worry, at most, the military department will send someone to find out the situation from you, do you think they don't know, in fact, many people have watched the duel between you and the butcher, by the way, what are you looking for me?" ”

Xia Fei said: "When I joined the union, I once participated in an assessment, and in that assessment, a little girl disappeared, and I saw her again during the bloody matrix, she was with a group of women in black robes. ”

Thuram was stunned, "Why didn't you say this was a very important thing earlier?"

Xia Fei was puzzled: "Is it very important?" I went to ask the union for an explanation, but the union sent me away, and I didn't see how much they cared about me. ”

Thuram said with a solemn expression: "It was that year, and you were not qualified to touch the confidential affairs of these unions at that time. ”

Xia Fei said helplessly: "Now I am just a small trainee adjudicator in the guild, the librarian. ”

Thuram said mysteriously: "Don't forget, you have another identity. ”

Xia Fei tilted his head and asked, "What identity?" ”

"Qin Mang's men." Thuram said solemnly: "You kid really don't know the height of the sky, haven't you seen the weight of the name Qin Mang until now?" ”

Xia Fei was speechless for a while, of course Xia Fei knew that Qin Mang had strength, but this concept was very vague, and he couldn't understand how powerful Old Man Qin Mang really was.

"Come with me to someone," Thuram said in a deep voice.

……

A secret investigation department a few blocks away from the Armament Department.

It's late at night, and the black six-story building has only a few lights, which looks very mysterious.

Thuram didn't look at the guards standing at the door, and strode straight inside, the detection system made a dripping sound, indicating that Thuram was armed with a weapon, but none of the people around dared to go up to stop him.

The blonde secretary on the side whispered to Xia Fei: "Minister Thuram has always been this kind of style, even if it is the highest meeting of the trade union, he has to carry a weapon, even our president does not dare to say anything, I heard that Lord Qin Mang was even more powerful back then, he once directly kicked open the door of the president's office, pointed at the president's nose and scolded in front of hundreds of colleagues. ”

Xia Fei pursed his lips, Qin Mang and Thuram are really brothers, even the style is the same, now the old man Qin Mang has long lost the fiery temper of the year, and Thuram is still majestic.

On the sixth floor, Xia Fei saw a very thin old man, this person had a thorn bird tattooed on his face, his skin color and eyes were very different from ordinary people, and his thin fingers were like eagle claws, hard and sharp, it seemed that this belonged to an ethnic minority in the alliance, otherwise the minister would never tattoo at will, and it should be the tradition of their nation to tattoo it on such an obvious face.

syllable

The door closed, and the tattooed old man rubbed his temples with both hands, and said with a sad face: "Is there anything important that can't be said tomorrow?" You don't look at what time it is. ”

Thuram snorted coldly in his nose, "Rakshasa, this is a big deal, Lao Tzu has sent you important information." ”

After a brief introduction, Thuram said to Xia Fei: "Say what you just told me to him again." ”

So Xia Fei told Rakshasa how Xiaoyu disappeared back then, and how he met her in the bloody matrix, and the more Rakshasa listened, the more shocked he became, and the sleepiness just now was swept away.

"How? Your Secret Investigation Department has been investigating for so many years and there is not even a single word at all, if I had you cut yourself down to thank the world. Thuram said very unceremoniously after Xia Fei finished speaking.

Rakshasa knew that Thuram had such a hot temper and didn't bother with him, he asked Xia Fei, "Xia Fei, are you telling the truth?" ”

Xia Fei nodded and said, "Every sentence is true." ”

"And do you remember how those women dressed and what they were doing?" Rakshasa asked.

Xia Fei was very puzzled, it had been more than two years since Xiaoyu's matter, and he had never heard that the guild attached importance to this matter, but now the head of the Secret Investigation Department seemed to be so concerned, which was obviously unreasonable.

Thuram saw Xia Fei's thoughts, so he said: "Actually, the fact that candidates are plundered is not an isolated case, it has happened from time to time in recent years, and these plundered candidates are all girls who are younger than sixteen years old and have high-level abilities, and there are no exceptions. ”

"The union has been investigating this matter for many years, and it is impossible to figure out who is doing this kind of thing, so your information is very helpful to the union."

Xia Fei was quite shocked, it turned out that Xiaoyu's disappearance was not alone, and there were many young girls who were also taken away during the assessment process, could these be the black-robed women who were with Xiaoyu a few days ago?

Rakshasa looked at Thuram with doubts, as if he felt that it was inappropriate to say these union secrets to Xia Fei, perhaps out of professional sensitivity, Rakshasa cared about every word.

Thuram nodded at the rakshasa and signaled that Xia Fei was his own person, so he could say whatever he wanted.

Rakshasa said: "Xia Fei, this matter is a matter of union secrets, I hope I don't mention it again when I walk out of this building." ”

Xia Fei said: "I understand. ”

"Well, if you tell me all the details you know, I'll call the best painters to come and draw their facial features, and then issue a union arrest warrant to find their whereabouts." Rakshasa said.

……

It's a matter of whether Xiaoyu can be found, Xia Fei didn't dare to be sloppy, he fully cooperated with the work of the secret investigation department, and explained the appearance and dress of these black-robed women very clearly.

When he left, the sky was about to lighten, and Thuram patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and said, "You still have to go back to participate in the Golden Finger Cup today, right?" ”

Xia Fei said: "That's right, the company's products still rely on the promotion of this conference." ”

Thuram laughed and said: "The energy shield synergistic device is very good, and now the heads of many local fleets are chasing me for the goods, but unfortunately your company's production capacity is too low, and it can't meet my needs for a while, I think you don't want to promote it, I will collect all of it for you." ”

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "Uncle Thuram, the market is very big, I can't always hold on to a bone and gnaw on it." ”

Thuram didn't say anything, knowing that Quantum was working hard to increase production, and that it wouldn't be something the Adjudicators' union would be able to digest when all the factories were fully operational.

"Let's go, I'll invite you to breakfast, the bean curd of Lao Wang's family at the corner of the street is very good." Thuram Road.

Xia Fei shook his head and looked at the gray night sky and said, "Next time, this is the time when a person is the most sleepy, and I have to give a big gift to a son." ”
