Chapter 30 Nine Branches
The next day, Wang Xu and Qi Bing were called to the principal's office by radio during class.
As soon as they pushed the door in, four men in crisp suits immediately blocked the door. But how could Wang Xu and Qi Bing not know that there were a few people in the house, they had already been mentally prepared, and they still behaved calmly, even if these four immediately took out their submachine guns and fired them, they would definitely not hurt them in the slightest.
A middle-aged man was sitting with his back to them, drinking coffee across from the principal's desk, when he slowly turned around: "Don't be nervous, you two, I'm the captain of the city's special police team, surnamed Zhang." I'd like to ask you to come back with me, just to answer a few questions. ”
Wang Xu was disdainful: "You are a policeman? Who to bluff? That's it...... At least at the level of the NSA, right? I can't figure it out, it's still a midnight person......"
Qi Bing's face was expressionless: "Yes, then let's leave now." He could only answer like this, because the headmaster's eyes were full of fear and suspicion when he looked at him, and he didn't know how many rumors this Captain Zhang had spread about his and Wang Xu's misdeeds.
In a short time, the two of them were already sitting in a black stretch car, in a school like Xiangyi, even an extra-long Lincoln car is not too eye-catching, and there are so many parents of students here who ride in this kind of car, so they left the school quietly and did not attract much attention.
Wang Xu and Qi Bing sat side by side opposite Captain Zhang, and when the car drove away from the school, Wang Xu was the first to speak: "I said this old Zhang, you can reveal your true identity now." ”
The captain Zhang sat upright, and his conversation was neither humble nor arrogant: "When you see my boss, you will naturally know our identity, what I can tell now is that we belong to the government and represent the interests of the country, and I hope you can cooperate with our work." ”
Wang Xu looked back at Qi Bing, and then realized that he seemed to be doing too much, because he couldn't see what his attitude was from his face, if Qi Bing didn't want to go with them, it was estimated that he would have done it a long time ago, so Wang Xu also closed his mouth and continued to wait.
Many people think that those state secret agencies must have a very hidden base, either in the desert or in such and such a military region, anyway, it is far away from the common people, and it has to be built underground, and the air raid cannot find the target.
But the reality is that Wang Xu's destination is in the urban area of S City, the location is not prosperous, but it is not remote, a building with more than ten floors, it does not look like a residential building, nor does it look like a commercial building, it is okay to say that it is a factory, and it is also like a warehouse. There is a fence outside the building, but there is no barbed wire on the wall, let alone the high-voltage power grid that Wang Xu imagined......
There are some parking spaces in the wall, and the old man who looks at the gate looks approachable and amiable, and is sitting in the door room drinking tea and reading the newspaper at this time, when Wang Xu and their car drove to the door, he and the driver waved to each other, and then pressed the switch of the electronic door.
After the car was parked, Wang Xu and Qi Bing followed Captain Zhang out of the car, and they came to the door of the building, of course, the gate was not protected by the laser rays that Wang Xu imagined...... But when they walked into the building, they finally saw something special, because behind the door there was only an elevator, and there were only walls on both sides.
The four men in suits did not follow up, only Wang Xu and the three of them rushed in together, and the three of them rushed in together, and the triple insurance of the captain's fingerprints, voiceprints, and pupils was needed to start the elevator, and in addition to the two buttons to open and close the door, there was only one floor button left to choose from.
"Normally, if you're invited here, you're going to have to wear a hood before you get to the final room, but you're in a special situation, so you didn't deal with it that way." Captain Zhang explained.
Wang Xu sneered in his heart: "You still want to put a hood on Lao Qi?" Believe it or not, he froze your head into an ice mahjong first. ”
What Qi Bing was thinking at the moment was that the designer here was really clever, there was no sign on the outside of the building, and it was built in the urban area, which was quite hidden in the city. It's like if you come home from work every day and pass by a certain business building, but you never care about what companies are doing in this place.
Therefore, the location of this extremely secret institution is here, but it seems to be invisible, and I really have to sigh at the indifference of today's society...... and those who know how to take advantage of the apathy of the human heart to facilitate their actions......
The elevator door opened, and in front of them was a snow-white corridor, with dozens of doors neatly lined up on both sides, which looked quite like the passage in the matrix in the Matrix in the Matrix, except that this corridor had an end in sight, and Wang Xu and them were going to the last room.
Captain Zhang turned the doorknob, he was the first to enter the room, and then turned back and said, "Please come in." ”
Wang Xu and Qi Bing exchanged glances, and then stepped into the room, only to be shocked as soon as Wang Xu saw the two people in the room: "Why are you two here?!" ”
The cat master turned around and said, "Lao Shang invited me to play chess, isn't this playing?" ”
Shang Weiguo saw Wang Xu coming in, so he put down the chess pieces in his hand: "Come with me." He stood up and opened the other door in the room, apparently preparing to invite Wang Xu to the small dark room to talk.
Qi Bing asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The cat master waved his hand weakly at him: "You sit down and accompany me, and I will tell you." ”
The captain Zhang had closed the door and went out at some point, Qi Bing really sat down to play chess with the cat master, Wang Xu's brain was a little short for a while, and he was pulled into the next room by Shang Weiguo in such a daze.
The strange thing is that the room next door is exactly the same as the room where the cat master was just now, they are all very ordinary office layouts, the same furniture, the same decoration, and even the placement of things on the table is like a reflection in the mirror.
Wang Xu didn't know the significance of such an arrangement, and he threw out a question that he was most interested in at the moment: "Hmm...... Uncle Shang...... Aren't you in the antiques business? How did it end up here? ”
Shang Weiguo didn't answer this question, but forced his eyes to look at Wang Xu: "You really don't know where my daughter went?" ”
Wang Xu sighed: "If I knew, I would have gone to her a long time ago......"
In fact, Shang Weiguo had already asked Master Mao about this question, and it could be seen from Wang Xu's eyes that he was not lying.
"So, do you know why she left?"
Wang Xu laughed dryly: "I really don't know ......"
"And what do you know?"
"I ......"
"Are you going to tell me that you don't know anything?"
Wang Xu only knew one thing, that is, Shang Weiguo was very dissatisfied with his future son-in-law, and now it seems that he does have reason to be dissatisfied......
"Hey...... ......" Shang Weiguo sat down and lit a cigarette for himself.
In fact, Wang Xu's heart was also more aggrieved, his girlfriend ran away, there was no news, he had no choice, so he had to keep "working" after that to distract himself, but now Lao Shang brought up this matter again, the implication is that his boyfriend is very incompetent and has an unshirkable responsibility for Shang Lingxue's departure.
Shang Weiguo spat out his cigarette: "First of all, let me show my identity, the name of our department is 'Ninth Section', and it is not related to any other government agency, whether it is the police, the procuratorate, the army, or the National Security Bureau, they cannot find information about our department, nor have the right to interfere with our actions, but we can let them cooperate with us through very convenient procedures, it can be said that in this land of China, we have the highest law enforcement authority."
And I, the person in charge of S City, usually identifies as a businessman, but when necessary, I can be a soldier or even a killer. ”
Wang Xu didn't show any surprised expression, because he was already a little frightened......
Shang Weiguo continued: "Twenty-one years ago, our department was officially established, and at that time, the government selected a group of people from the army, armed police, ordinary police, and some special talents, as a veteran member of the ninth section, I am one of them, and our work is unprecedented, that is, to investigate all events that cannot be explained by science, and to ensure that these supernatural things do not endanger national security.
Over the years, our work has never slackened, ghost hunters, marginal people, superpowers, and even the existence of the Yin and Yang Realm, we have all investigated, but it is difficult for us to intervene in this world, because we are just a group of mortals, even the best special forces, in the face of spiritual or superpowers, we are as powerless as children. ”
He took another deep puff of his cigarette: "Until ten years ago, there was a man named Yu An, that is, the old man you call Emperor Song, who took the initiative to contact us and reached many agreements with us, although they were all verbal, but they have been used to this day.
The first of these is that we in the Ninth Section must not come to harass the lives of your ghost hunters, and we quickly reached an agreement with him on this point, because we must also admit that you are all heroes, heroes who can save and protect ordinary people regardless of your own life and death.
And he also promised that the ghost hunting world has an obligation to eliminate those scum who use spiritual powers to do evil, which is undoubtedly much more effective than our intervention. ”
Wang Xu laughed wryly when he heard this, and his expression was like Nohara Shinnosuke being saying, "I'm not that good~"
Shang Weiguo really wanted to add: "Only you kid is not like a hero and a bear." But after all, he is not as mean as the cat master, and he still can't say this......
Wang Xu asked, "So...... It's ...... today."
Shang Weiguo's face was very solemn: "Today, I have no choice but to come to negotiate with you, because the development of a certain matter is far beyond our control, if we don't rely on your strength, the consequences will be unpredictable......"
