"Oooh. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is also yes, yes is also true. Xia Lu nodded, "That's really sorry." ”

"Sorry for the ......"

The melodious "The First Town" sounded, Ye Zifeng and Xia Lu took out their mobile phones at the same time, and finally Ye Zifeng picked up the phone.

"I heard that you came back, and I was really a little upset that I didn't send someone to pick you up." Saber's voice came, but it sounded teasing.

"I don't think you're going to be upset." Ye Zifeng responded unceremoniously, "Say, what's the matter with the call." ”

"What kind of attitude do you have, I specially called you to reveal a little bit of the inside story."

"Insider? Tomorrow's thing? ”

"Of course not, didn't you watch TV? Now all the local channels are reporting on the hijacking incident at the Seongdong Passenger Terminal, which is officially classified as a vicious gun hijacking incident, and the person who solved the incident was an unnamed Defense Department official, if I guessed correctly, it should be you. ”

"Well, you win. Tell me, what do you know? Ye Zifeng raised his hand in surrender, and a large part of Saber's words were nothing more than explaining one thing to Ye Zifeng, you need my help.

"I know a lot." Saber flipped through the papers on his desk, "First of all, the identity of the prisoner, a corporal of the 22nd Operations Section of the 16th Defense Bureau of the Ministry of Defense, I don't know what happened, but knowing his identity alone is enough to solve part of the problem." ”

"Yes, indeed." Ye Zifeng nodded.

In this way, the last sentence he said was explained. But without waiting for Ye Zifeng to continue thinking, Saber said immediately.

"And then the lady who was taken hostage." Saber tucked the phone over his shoulder, flipped through the pages of the information in front of him, and a black-and-white standard five-inch photo was copied in the upper left corner of the document, with an introduction to the woman on the side.

"A research institution directly under the Ministry of Defense of District 0202, the highest person in charge of the 'Damned' system project." Saber sighed, "It seems that things are really not as simple as we thought, and the 'Damned' system has not disappeared. ”

"How can I see it, it's just a previous document, and everyone has a lot of identities." Ye Zifeng frowned.

"You're wrong, the label on the data, this information is still valid."

"How could it be ......" Ye Zifeng whispered in surprise, "I will investigate this matter, but it may have to be delayed until after tomorrow." ”

"The corporal who committed suicide is named Li Hao, and it can be seen from his action records that he once participated in the defense operation of the Thunder Research Institute, but his action records have disappeared since three days ago, and the last record shows ......"

"Whereabouts unknown." Xia Lu suddenly interjected, and Ye Zifeng turned his head to look over.

"That's right, it's just that his whereabouts are unknown." Saber nodded, "That's all I know, I'll tell you everything, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

"Okay." Ye Zifeng hung up the phone and began to think about it.

-- What happened to the "Damned" system, which was supposed to be terminated? Is the corporal's last sentence, "I won't tell you for the sake of my family", because it was an order from the Ministry of Defense? Or is it a matter of pressure, but if it is too much pressure, why is it so coincidentally that the top person in charge of the "Damned" system is held hostage? Also, why hasn't the information of the person in charge of the "Damned" expired? It seems to be true, and the matter of the "Damned" system is not over.

Ye Zifeng suddenly thought of someone, and the golden flames that kept beating under the white mask made Ye Zifeng suddenly raise his head.

"Hey, we're here." Xia Lu called softly in Ye Zifeng's ear, Ye Zifeng opened his eyes, the surrounding sky was dark, the taxi stopped at the door of a medium-sized community, and the security guard stopped the taxi and prevented him from entering.

"Oh, it's good to stop here, thank you, master." Ye Zifeng said immediately after seeing the situation clearly, and at the same time took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the driver.

The two got out of the car and took out their luggage from the trunk, and the security guard released the two after confirming Ye Zifeng's identity.

"What's wrong with you, falling asleep in a taxi doesn't look like you." Xia Lu looked at Ye Zifeng with some concern.

"Why can't I sleep in a taxi?" Ye Zifeng turned his head to look at Xia Lu, not knowing what Xia Lu was talking about, "Maybe I'm too tired, and I've been thinking about it, and I didn't realize that I was asleep at all." ”

Walking into a multi-storey building, Ye Zifeng took Xia Lu to the top floor by elevator, opened the door of his apartment and let Xia Lu in, and then Ye Zifeng turned on the light in the room and closed the door.

"This is the apartment you live in, not bad." Xia Lu looked here and there, and kept admiring.

"It was already renovated when I bought it." Ye Zifeng put the backpack next to the sofa group, sat on the sofa, picked up two teacups from the coffee table, and poured two glasses of water.

"Don't think about it yet, and if you think about it again, your thoughts will disappear." Xia Lu did it to Ye Zifeng's side, picked up a glass of water, and took a sip.

"The idea is quite clear, but there are too many doubts, and I can't find a breakthrough." Ye Zifeng said, "First of all, the corporal's motive for action, now it is most likely that he was ordered by the Ministry of Defense to do so, but I don't understand why he just hijacked and didn't do anything else?" ”

"Will it be voluntary?" Xia Lu said.

"I've thought about this, but it's unlikely, voluntary action is nothing more than too much pressure, but there are many ways to release pressure, there is no need to go to the passenger station to take hostages, and in the end I shot myself without hurting the hostages, I didn't think about this."

"What else, besides that?"

"And then there's the 'Damned', you should know about the mask, right?"

"I've heard a little about it, and I've heard that it's Level III created by the Ministry of Defense." Xia Lu thought about her worthwhile information.

"Indeed, he is inextricably linked to the 'Damned' affair. However, he had already died on board the heavy pilgrim cruiser Pious Inquirer, and the Damned should have been wiped out, so why hadn't the Damned Project stopped? ”

"Maybe it was only the first batch that was destroyed before." Xia Lu said, "Isn't that kind of thing mass-produced? ”

"However, after the 'Sword of the Firmament' operation was exposed, the 'Damned One' should have cast a shadow on the Defense Department, and they will not risk being attacked by public opinion to create a second batch of 'Damned'."

"And what do you mean?" Xia Lu frowned, she didn't understand the meaning of Ye Zifeng's words.

"Let's assume that the corporal's original goal was to kill the supreme leader of the 'Damned' project."

"Uh-huh."

"But for various reasons, he didn't do it, but because his family was monitored by the Ministry of Defense, he had to choose to commit suicide."

"In that case, the corporal committed suicide because of the failure of the operation, which also explains why the corporal committed such a thing as a hijacking. However, if the Ministry of Defense wants to kill this 'damned' plan, why would the top person in charge send a corporal to carry it out instead of sending a full-time assassin to assassinate it? ”

"I don't know, maybe this supreme person has some killer feature." Ye Zifeng shrugged, "But what I care about is why the Defense Department wants to kill the person in charge?" Rather than kill, house arrest is more realistic. ”

"You say that...... Xia Lu nodded, and lowered her head to think, "It does make sense, and house arrest can coerce her to help the Defense Department complete more tasks." ”

"So the things that came out of this incident were extremely troublesome, and I said at the time not to interfere, but you wanted me to come forward." Ye Zifeng reprimanded helplessly. Xia Lu stuck out her tongue, and seeing this, Ye Zifeng could only shake his head helplessly.

"Forget it, this matter will end here, I will find a way to intervene, after all, I will not sit idly by and watch related to the 'Damned' incident." Ye Zifeng looked at the watch hanging on the wall, "It's not early, let's rest." ”

But after speaking, Ye Zifeng was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Lu got up, but saw Ye Zifeng sitting motionless on the sofa.

"There is only one room in this apartment." Ye Zifeng said with some embarrassment. Xia Lu's face flushed slightly.

"Forget it, I'll go boil the bath water first, and I'll sleep on the sofa today."

"No, no, how can I get you out of the room." Xia Lu waved her hand again and again, "I'll sleep on the sofa." ”

"Whatever you want." Ye Zifeng walked into the bathroom and turned on the water heater. Then he went back to the living room, took off his coat, and turned on the TV.

The temperature of the water was just right, and Ye Zifeng stretched his tired body in the warm water, and couldn't help but let out a whining moan. What happened in only a few days left Ye Zifeng with no chance to return to this home, and spent most of his time in the hospital, which also made Ye Zifeng a frequent visitor to the hospital. But trouble has entangled Ye Zifeng, but after getting used to it, Ye Zifeng is no longer surprised, this time the hijacking incident Ye Zifeng thought about it carefully, and really couldn't complain about Xia Lu's recklessness, if you really want to say it, you should thank her. If Xia Lu hadn't let herself meddle in this matter, Ye Zifeng might not have known that the "Heavenly Retribution" plan was not over.

looked at the electronic clock hanging in the bathroom, it was eight o'clock in the evening, this time was the most awake time in Shanghai, Ye Zifeng did not feel the slightest sleep, probably because he had slept enough in the taxi. Xia Lu is also a hundred times more energetic, Ye Zifeng thought about it, if there is nothing else, the hijacking incident will be put aside for a night and go out to play, speaking of which, Ye Zifeng really hasn't wandered around Shanghai at night.

I got up from the bathtub and the water droplets on my body flowed down like a waterfall, so I took a bath towel from the side, dried my body, and put on my shirt in the bathroom. Originally, Ye Zifeng didn't have this habit, he usually walked out of the bathroom directly after wrapping himself in a bath towel, but the one outside was also of different gender, although there was no outdated concept that men and women couldn't afford it, but Ye Zifeng still wouldn't make habitual choices.

"Washed?" Xia Lu saw Ye Zifeng coming out of the bathroom, her long black hair was stained with a little drop of water, "I'm really sorry, didn't I disturb you." ”

"It's all here, and what are you talking about?" Ye Zifeng smiled and waved his hand, took the drink beside Xia Lu and poured himself a glass, and drank it all.

"Huhu, after taking a shower and this is indeed a good choice, how did you find out."

"There are great people to teach." Xia Lu smiled mysteriously, "What are your plans, isn't it too early to go to bed at eight o'clock?" ”

"I was just going to talk about it." Ye Zifeng nestled in the sofa, "How is it?" Do you want to go to the night market? ”

"Oh?" Xia Lu came to her senses, "Is there a night market here?" ”

"I remember there was a street where traffic was closed at night, so naturally it became a night market."

"Okay, let's go, let's go." Xia Lu got up, but didn't make the next move, "Are we doing it in reverse order, shouldn't we go to the night market first and then take a shower?" ”

"The temperature here at night is only 22 degrees, so you won't sweat if you just go to the night market." Ye Zifeng got up and put on travel shoes at the door, "Besides, it would be nice if you came back from sweating and washed it." ”

"That's right." Xia Lu nodded, "Let's go, let's go to the night market." ”

Xia Lu pulled Ye Zifeng and rushed out of the apartment, the moment the door closed, the electrical appliances that were not needed in the house were extinguished at the same time, and the semi-intelligent residential system did a good job at this point.

Xia Lu took Ye Zifeng's arm and walked with Ye Zifeng to the night market about five minutes away, the two talked a lot along the way, chatting about everything, as if no matter what the topic was, there would be an infinite extension in the mouths of the two, and now the two were talking about the Crusades when they entered Jerusalem, and they began to talk about how Ye Zifeng was hurting life here.

In other words, the Holy See launched nine crusades and only broke through the gates of Jerusalem in six, but it was soon recaptured by the ******. In general, the Crusades are meaningless to waste money and money. The kings of the Christian countries rushed to organize armies for the purpose of their own greed, the yearning for the unknown and feudal superstition, and the crime they committed. Ye Zifeng talked eloquently, he thought he knew a lot about this period of European medieval history.

"Do you mean that you have to have a valid reason to do everything and then act on it?" Xia Lu speculated.

"I don't have a deep meaning in every sentence." Ye Zifeng said with a wry smile, "Although you are not wrong to say so. ”

"Hee-hee." Xia Lu grinned.

There was a commotion in the distance, coming from the entrance to a horizontal street, illuminating the left four rows of eight lanes in both directions.

"Oh, here we are, right there." Ye Zifeng pointed to the night market about a hundred meters ahead.

"It sounds hilarious." Xia Lu looked a little excited, and began to feel a little restless by Ye Zifeng's side, pulling Ye Zifeng and running forward.

"Slow down, slow down, the night market can't run again." Ye Zifeng smiled helplessly and followed Xia Lu's footsteps.

The night market is crowded with people, so it is a little inappropriate to call it a night market, but it is more appropriate to call it an inventory. In fact, this poster is posted on the sign at the entrance to the street.

"Summer celebrations?" Ye Zifeng looked at the eye-catching title on the poster and couldn't help but stop and look at it.

"All couples who enter on the day of the celebration can participate in the raffle and win 100%. The event time is 22:00. In addition, there are a variety of game activities waiting for you to participate! ”

"The last 'oh' is really redundant." Ye Zifeng complained.

"You're the kind of person who doesn't use modal words when you speak, so it always seems like you're rejected." Xia Lu said on the side, her cheeks were slightly red, I don't know if it was because of the hot weather or the eye-catching red enlarged font on the poster. Anyway, why can only couples draw lotteries?

"Really?" Ye Zifeng didn't notice Xia Lu's abnormality, and said with some surprise, "Tone words make people feel very close?" ”

"That's it." Xia Lu nodded firmly, "You should try to add a modal word like 'what, what?' after every question." ”

"I'll try my best." Ye Zifeng nodded, "Let's go, let's go, let's take a look, I really haven't heard of this summer festival, maybe I've been living in the hospital recently." ”

"I guess you've been in danger lately, so you don't have time to pay attention to these things." Xia Lu rolled her eyes, but she still followed Ye Zifeng's footsteps and walked towards the pedestrian street.

The streets are not too wide, with two-lane lanes in both directions, and such streets are not even tertiary streets. The streets are lined with vendors such as fried chicken or barbecue stalls, which are almost a short walk away, and games like airsoft shooting and ring rings are not hard to find. Ye Zifeng and Xia Lu were attracted by all kinds of stalls from the beginning of their entry.

The imitation amethyst on the jewelry stall is so beautiful, buy! Buy clothes here is such a silk scarf, buy! The octopus balls here are so delicious, buy them! Oh yes, yes, and fried noodles, buy!

"Let's try that again." Xia Lu became excited, ordinary people couldn't stop it, Ye Zifeng thought that he didn't have such a magic skill, and classifying himself into the category of ordinary people could best explain the current situation. With his hands in his pockets, Ye Zifeng followed Xia Lu slowly, he was not afraid that Xia Lu would get lost, even if there were crowds of people on the pedestrian street, Ye Zifeng could accurately find Xia Lu's location.

Xia Lu trotted all the way through the gap of pedestrians to the booth where the air gun was shooting, and there were six ****** on the table, not the kind that shoots steel balls, but six-millimeter plastic bullets. There are already customers shooting balloons with rifles, but the distance of seven or eight meters and the lack of rifling ****** it is difficult to hit the target.

Xia Lu beckoned to Ye Zifeng to hurry up, then turned to pick up a rifle from the table, pulled the bolt to open the piston, and aimed at the various balloons on the cardboard wall.
