"You're lucky today, but don't expect me to let you go next time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The gene enhancer pushed away a few steps, and then took out something from behind his back and pressed it with his thumb.
There was a loud bang, Ye Zifeng hurriedly raised his right arm to block his head, and only after the shock wave of the explosion passed, Ye Zifeng put down his right arm and stood up from the ground, the orange firelight illuminated the entire underground parking lot, and the overhead lights looked dim. Ye Zifeng looked for the figure of the gene enhancer, but there was nowhere to go, obviously wearing a black tights in this situation, there was nowhere to escape, but he disappeared without a trace like a ghost. Ye Zifeng sighed helplessly, picked up the long knife on the side and put it back in his pocket, and the pistol was also wiped back into the holster behind his waist, which was a note that Ye Zifeng found on the ground.
"Dear Captain Ye Zifeng,
It's okay to call me Blood Wolf, I don't need too cumbersome names, I will appear by your side from time to time in the future and use different methods to take your life all the time, as long as you are still in the Hanging City, it is best not to sleep. Have a pleasant and exciting holiday trip. ”
"Hmph." Ye Zifeng snorted and threw the note into the fire. Watching the rapid carbonization of plant fibers turn into black ashes blown away by the hot air, Ye Zifeng turned away and smashed the fire alarm next to the elevator with a punch, the alarm in the underground parking lot sounded harshly, and the automatic fire extinguishing device overhead was activated, spraying water mist downward. Ye Zifeng didn't pay attention to this, walked straight into the elevator, and clicked the button on the first floor.
The elevator door closed, Ye Zifeng watched the firelight in the underground parking lot disappear little by little in the crack of the elevator door, and his heart was infinitely emotional.
"Looks like I'm going to take the bus when I get home today." Ye Zifeng sighed and shook his head.
There are 135:35:11 left until the rescue operation
When they returned to the first floor of the mall, Xia Lu and the others did not come back, Guan Yi and Alice were nowhere to be seen, Ye Zifeng was not in the mood to look for them, so he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Guan Yi's mobile phone. After a few busy tones, Guan Yi picked up the phone.
"Sir?"
"Where are you?" Ye Zifeng put his left hand in his trouser pocket, standing in front of the fountain and looking up at the fountain.
"Oh, Alice said she wanted to see the clothes, so we went upstairs." Guan Yi replied, and Alice's voice could be heard in the background, as if she was bargaining with the salesperson. Ye Zifeng wiped a cold sweat and looked at the watch on his wrist, it was now eight twenty-six.
"We'll be back in front of the fountain on the first floor in an hour, and we'll need to make some preparations." Ye Zifeng said blandly, "There is one more thing you can help pass on." ”
"What?" Guan Yi asked with some curiosity.
"Our car was blown up." Ye Zifeng lowered his voice to prevent the people around him from hearing it, "I've seen it, it may be ********, the underground parking lot is on fire now, and it won't be extinguished for a while." ”
"Ahh Guan Yi exclaimed loudly.
However, she soon realized her gaffe, and immediately apologized to the guests on the side with a smile, and then picked up her mobile phone and said in the same whisper.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know." Ye Zifeng hid the matter of the gene enhancer, and frowned slightly, "Don't think too much, the task after completing it is important, you go shopping first, don't worry about me." ”
"Is there really no problem, sir?" Guan Yi looked a little nervous, and her voice was also very hurried. Ye Zifeng heard Alice asking who Guan Yi was talking to, but Guan Yi just said Ye Zifeng and hurriedly ran to the side.
"It doesn't matter, sir, I'll go over now."
"I'm fine." Ye Zifeng shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this matter, you still have a task afterward." Remember to pass the news on and the call is over. ”
Ye Zifeng was afraid that if he talked about it any longer, this matter would be exposed, so he quickly hung up the phone. Shoved his phone back into his pocket, he looked up at the tall fountain sculpture again, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, all mirrored sculptures reflecting the figure of a person.
At the fast food restaurant on the side, the black-clad assassin looked at Ye Zifeng with a mini binocular, chewing a piece of French fries in his mouth.
"Blood wolf, what a tasteless nickname." He sent the mini telescope down and took a bite of the hamburger on the side, "But it's getting a little complicated." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, Ye Zifeng can handle it." Archer, who was on the side, also put down the binoculars in his hand and took a sip of the Coke in front of the Assassin.
"What did you say?" Assassin frowned and glanced at Archer, "Pay attention to the meaning of the sentence, I didn't say I would support him." What does this kid's death have to do with me? ”
The Assassin put his hands behind the back of his head and leaned back, his face relaxed and even whistling.
"But what are you going to do, just really look at that blood wolf, Ye Zifeng killed it and finally made Feng Fengxiang ugly? He's your teacher. Archer put the telescope in front of him and looked at Ye Zifeng again, "I don't think you're that kind of person. ”
"yes, I'm not like that." The assassin grinned, "I admit that I said that I would not protect Ye Zifeng, but this is what the teacher said, my duty is not to protect but to monitor." But did I say I wouldn't bother with that blood wolf? How can he finally run into an interesting opponent and let him run. ”
"Hmph." Archer snorted, a smile on his lips, "I'll just say you're not like that. ”
"I'm not like that?" Assassin asked, "I'm not even a character that I have that can be a mark. ”
"Who knows?" Archer glanced at the Assassin, "You don't know what kind of person you are, how do I know." ”
Archer shrugged his shoulders with a look of play.
"I didn't expect to see you here." Ye Zifeng had a lazy smile on his face and looked at the people behind him. A slightly thin pure white dress, long red hair in a high bun, a large panda sunglasses on the bridge of the nose, and a small handbag on the shoulder.
"Artoria." Ye Zifeng said his name softly.
"Who are you?" Artoria obviously didn't recognize Ye Zifeng at a glance, took off her sunglasses, and stared at Ye Zifeng carefully for a few seconds, "I'm sorry, I don't think we should have met." ”
"Did I call it the right name?" Ye Zifeng was a little curious and asked.
"It's really weird, how do you know my name?" Artoria walked to Ye Zifeng's side suspiciously, and looked at Ye Zifeng carefully.
"Since we happen to call your name, let's have a meal together." Ye Zifeng stretched out his hand to Artoria and posed as a gentleman's invitation.
Artoria covered her mouth and smiled.
"Then I'd be respectful and obey my fate, and the fast food restaurant over there is good."
"Please." Ye Zifeng smiled gentlemanly and followed Artoria into the fast food restaurant. The Assassin and Archer, who were sitting at the window, immediately lay motionless on the table.
"How did you know my name?" Artoria was obviously surprised by the fact that Ye Zifeng knew her name, but she really couldn't remember Ye Zifeng's appearance.
Ye Zifeng was also suspicious of this matter, but Ye Zifeng did not reflect this single-mindedness, but still pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile.
"I, I'm a magician, do you believe it?" Ye Zifeng smiled mysteriously. The Assassin and Archer, who were not far away, stopped the sentence as it was, and both of them began to tremble at the same time, holding back the laughter in their hearts. However, Ye Zifeng hasn't found these two pretending guys yet.
"Magician." As if suddenly realized, Artoria's eyes glanced to the side, and the idea of testing Ye Zifeng stretched out in her heart.
"Okay, make me a cup of coffee." Artoria leaned back on the sofa and looked at Ye Zifeng with interest.
"No problem." Ye Zifeng was still smiling, and beckoned to the waiter, "Two cups of coffee, one cup more than a box of creamer and a bag of sugar." ”
"Got it, sir." The waiter retreated, and Ye Zifeng shrugged at Artoria. Artoria pursed her face, but instead sneered.
"It seems that the methods of cheating girls are so old-fashioned now." Artoria propped her elbows on the table and stared at Ye Zifeng with big eyes, "Little brother, how old are you?" ”
"Do you believe me when I say privacy?" Ye Zifeng pursed his lips, "This is my business card." ”
Ye Zifeng handed over his temporary residence permit, and Artoria stretched out her hand to take it.
"Oh, it's so small than me. Well? Captain Commissioner of the Department of Defense? The official is not small. Artoria handed the card back, "Looks like I'm going to call you sir." ”
"Where did you withdraw from?" Ye Zifeng asked, it seems that the crux of the problem is here, there seems to have been some accident during the period when Artoria infiltrated the defense department.
"Crescent Island, I came here from Crescent Island." Artoria immediately replied, "We stayed in the Philippines temporarily after the evacuation from Crescent Island, and we officially moved here just a few days ago. ”
"The Philippines?" Ye Zifeng repeated in a low voice, "Do you have any impressions of Crescent Island before, such as where you live or what kind of people you have come into contact with?" ”
"Why did you ask this suddenly, sir?" Artoria frowned, "Sounds like a job review." ”
"Do you have any impressions?"
"Nope." Artoria lowered her head and looked a little lost, "I don't have any impression, but I always felt that there was something different before that than now, but I just can't remember." ”
KS drug? No, Artoria's memory protein is not big enough to resist KS to remember, once injected with KS potion, she will immediately lose her memory of the Admiralty, but now she said that she vaguely feels that something is wrong, which shows that Artoria has not completely lost her previous memory. It's like it's easy to be sealed, or it's better to use a deep sleep. But what's going on? Why do Artoria's memories sleep? Ye Zifeng had indeed read a few books related to human brain structure and human brain science before, but according to such things as drug suppression of memory, Ye Zifeng couldn't think of anything other than KS medicine, but KS medicine has now been discontinued, and its formula is sealed in the disconnected database of the Bermuda Research Institute, unless someone goes to the Bermuda Research Institute to read it, it is impossible to know at all. Or is it a deep slumber, or is it cell destruction? Ye Zifeng couldn't tell.
Artoria looked a little strange, her face was not as wise as before, but always showed a curious expression like a natural fool.
The waiter served two cups of coffee and flipped one of the whitened coffee cups in front of Ye Zifeng.
"Drink, here's the coffee I made." Ye Zifeng took the lead in picking up the coffee cup and taking a sip. Artoria looked at Ye Zifeng and followed Ye Zifeng's example, and took a sip of the coffee cup. Such a child is not afraid of getting lost when he walks outside, no, he may have been lost and let himself pick it up.
Ye Zifeng couldn't help but think of the amnestic in the movie The Man in Black, as long as the light flashes, people will lose their memory.
Forget it, it doesn't matter what, Artoria's matter must be solved, but it is by no means an overnight thing, and it seems that it is difficult to find the root cause of the problem.
Ye Zifeng looked at Artoria with a calm face, and Artoria put down her coffee cup and looked at Ye Zifeng with some nervousness.
"Where do you live? I'll visit you when I have time. ”
"Huh?" Artoria was a little panicked, her cheeks flushed slightly, "Well, it's going too fast." ”
Ye Zifeng smiled helplessly.
"I don't know where your mind has jumped, but I can tell you responsibly that your life is at stake." Ye Zifeng didn't lie, Artoria had too much information about the Admiralty, and if necessary, Ye Zifeng would kill it with his own hands, "And this is the commander's order." ”
"Oh." Artoria nodded, took out a notebook and a tube of pens from her handbag, wrote a few lines of text on it, tore off a page, put it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Ye Zifeng, "I live here now." ”
Ye Zifeng picked up the piece of paper, looked at it, and then nodded.
"I'll let you know if there's anything." Ye Zifeng folded the piece of paper twice and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his jacket, "I'll see you again when I have a chance." ”
Ye Zifeng got up and left the fast food restaurant, leaving Artoria alone sitting on the sofa in a daze and not knowing what to do. The waiter on the side walked over.
"Miss, is there anyone else in this position?"
"No, no." Artoria shook her head, "Oh, by the way, haven't you paid for these two cups of coffee yet?" ”
Artoria hurriedly pulled her e-money card out of her handbag.
"It's already paid." The waiter smiled slightly, "The gentleman just said that if you want to eat something, you can order it, and he has already paid enough." ”
"Ah, yes, that's right." Artoria hurriedly responded.
The waiter smiled and walked away, Artoria glanced at the back of Ye Zifeng leaving, and then picked up the coffee and drank it. I don't know why the person named Ye Zifeng just now gave him a very familiar feeling, but there was no impression of him in Haohai. And her own past, Artoria couldn't remember, but she always thought that the person just now would know something, but why didn't she tell herself why that person could call her name the first time they met. Artoria was confused, she had tried to remember her past before, but since she had been evacuated from Crescent Island, all her memories had disappeared, and she couldn't remember how hard she tried.
Artoria had also asked her superiors about the matter, but her superiors had only taken out her file for Artoria to read for herself. But nothing of value was written in the archives, and the key points were cleverly hidden, and Artoria could not decipher anything.
Looking up at the direction Ye Zifeng left again, Artoria's eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement, who is this man?
Archer turned to look at the assassin and asked in a low voice, "What do you think is going on?" ”
"How do I know?" The Assassin replied casually, "Ask yourself, I think that kid should have the answer." ”
"No way, Ye Zifeng won't reveal any information about the Admiralty until he gets an answer." Archer replied in the affirmative, and then leaned on the table and looked at Ye Zifeng with a telescope, "He should also be in doubt, he doesn't have an answer yet." ”
"You know very well, he doesn't know, how can I know." Assassin glanced at Archer disapprovingly, "But if I want to say, could this symptom be the after-effects of cryogenic freezing?" ”
"Cryogenic freezing? You're her pork belly. Archer snorted.
She has no memory of before she left Crescent Island, and it is possible that she fell into a cryogenic sleep, which causes people to fall into a deep sleep, and people do not dream when they are in deep sleep. To put it ideally, it touches the depths of the soul when sleeping," the assassin rolled his eyes, "and although this sleep method can effectively delay the aging of the human body, there are still many sequelae, and memory loss is one of them." So now there is a big controversy about cryogenic sleep in the world. ”
"Do you know the root cause of memory loss?" Archer asked, "Isn't it really touching a soul?" ”
"I said you believe it too." Assassin glanced at Archer with contempt, "Low temperature will interfere with the normal operation of the human brain, brain cells will reduce cell activity in a low temperature environment, and once the time is too long, the cells will be completely inactive, that is, the cells will be killed. However, this is only one case, and the other situation is that the cells automatically go to sleep in a low temperature environment to reduce the energy consumed by cell activities, and after thawing, these fallen cells do not adapt to the changes in the external environment and continue to sleep, resulting in memory loss. ”
"That's why we call this ......."
"Hypothermia amnesia."
Ye Zifeng raised his head suddenly.
"That's right, this is it!"
