Chapter 7: The Mortal Disease (VII) 1



When he got up early the next morning, Ye Zifeng found that something was wrong, although everyone in the room was asleep, and it was only half past four in the morning, but everything was too quiet, and the tranquility was a little creepy. Ye Zifeng turned over and got up from the floor, grabbed the pistol on the small round table above his head, and looked at this quiet space with a nervous expression, as if it was a dead silence after the end of the world, the room was dim, only the faint blue light emitted by the night lamp that had not been extinguished on the bar.

Ye Zifeng looked at Xia Lu, Guan Yi and Alice who were asleep on the bed, and then looked at Xiang Yifei, who was curled up in the corner of the room like a dead dog. Ye Zifeng got up quietly and walked out of the room quietly. Because he slept too late at night, Ye Zifeng slept in a kimono, still wearing a slightly shabby black casual jacket that won the award, although Xia Lu kept saying that he would let Ye Zifeng buy another set of clothes, but Ye Zifeng had not acted, and he was so indifferent to his own affairs, Xia Lu could only sigh helplessly and shake his head.

Gently closing the door, Ye Zifeng did not wake up the girl on the bed, but Xiang Yifei, who seemed to be sleeping soundly in the corner, quietly opened his eyes, and there was a cold taste in his eyes. also got up quietly and left the room behind Ye Zifeng.

In room 607 on the side, Blake's figure had disappeared, Ye Zifeng looked at the empty room in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, but this is, Xiang Yifei followed Ye Zifeng into 607.

"What are you doing so early?" Xiang Yifei yawned and asked Ye Zifeng.

"I think something is wrong." Ye Zifeng didn't ask Xiang Yifei why he got up, he didn't have that mood now. Pointing to the empty double bed, Ye Zifeng said in a deep voice, "Blake ran away." ”

"Is there something wrong with your medicine?" Xiang Yifei looked at Ye Zifeng with a puzzled expression, and then walked to the side of the bed and touched the bed. "It's still warm, it shouldn't have been done for long. What to do, chase or not? ”

"Of course you have to chase it, but ......" Ye Zifeng lowered his head and thought about it, "Although the anesthetic ingredients will be ineffective in an hour, the trace amount of neurotoxin ingredients in it will make the user go to the memory for a period of time." If it's going to work. Blake probably won't remember what happened last night. ”

Ye Zifeng's brows were slightly raised, his eyes flashed with a light of thought, his right hand was slightly stuck in his chin, his eyes were fixed on a point on the ground but his attention was not on it.

"But what if the neurotoxin you're talking about doesn't work. Instead of amnesia, Blake clearly remembers what happened yesterday, and now that he has escaped, aren't we in danger? Xiang Yifei approached Ye Zifeng, anxious with anxiety written on his face, and his tone was also very hurried. It's kind of like a forced question.

Facing Xiang Yifei's question, Ye Zifeng had no reason to resist, so he could only sigh.

"Don't worry, Blake shouldn't have left this annex yet." Ye Zifeng turned around, and when his eyes slid away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the bathroom door that was not closed on the side, and the light tube was still on inside. Ye Zifeng immediately became vigilant, pulled out a pistol from behind his waist, and pulled the sleeve bullet to load.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Yifei apparently noticed this as well. immediately stepped forward, but Ye Zifeng waved his hand to stop Xiang Yifei. At the same time, he turned around and made a silent gesture towards Yifei, signaling to Yifei not to speak loudly.

"I'm still wondering why only the bathroom in this room was built on this side of the window." Ye Zifeng quickly ran to the door of the bathroom and pulled the bathroom open. Originally, he thought that Blake was escaping through the bathroom window, but the scene in front of him made Ye Zifeng can't help but take a step back, and his left hand, which was holding the pistol, couldn't help but thump down. Cover your mouth and nose with your right hand. Watch the pupils of your eyes constrict in the bathroom.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Ye Zifeng's appearance, Xiang Yifei hurriedly ran to Ye Zifeng's side and patted Ye Zifeng's shoulder, and at the same time looked at the bathroom, and the next moment, Xiang Yifei also showed an extremely shocked expression.

Blood stained an entire wall of the bathroom. Blake's body hung from the ceiling of the bathroom, and there was no blood coming out. A wound in the center of the body that passed through the body revealed pink internal organs and muscles, and because there was no blood flowing in the body, it looked a little pale. The silk threads hanging from the body were like iron ropes, and they were also like spiders spinning silk, densely bought and wrapped around Blake's corpse. The expression on Blake's face was extremely hideous, his jaw was spreading with all his might as if he was about to vomit something, and he looked like he had dislocated, his eyes were bloodshot and his eyeballs were protruding.

Ye Zifeng slammed the bathroom door, gasping for air, his eyes were full of shock, even if he saw too many scenes of blood flying after bullets pierced the human body, but such a scene was still too terrifying, if it was in a film and television work, such a scene would be labeled as R-18. Ye Zifeng didn't dare to think about it, there was a feeling of turning the river and the sea in his stomach, and he forcibly suppressed the nausea, Ye Zifeng turned his head to look at Xiang Yifei. Xiang Yifei had silently left the door of the bathroom, walked back to the small round table, grabbed the gin on it and drank it from the bottle.

"That's weird, isn't it?" Ye Zifeng frowned and looked at Xiang Yifei, "The scene is too strange, if it is such an attack, it should be a close shot of a heavy weapon, but we didn't hear the sound of the weapon firing." And no traces of the explosion were found. We didn't even hear Blake's screams. ”

Ye Zifeng looked at Xiang Yifei and couldn't help but wonder.

"When did you come back yesterday?"

"You don't have to doubt me." Xiang Yifei's voice trembled a little, and Ye Zifeng was startled in the center of his ear. Xiang Yifei slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Zifeng, his lips were trembling, his face was trembling, and his body was also trembling, "We were only separated by a wall from death yesterday. ”

Ye Zifeng seemed to understand something, and a look of shock couldn't help but appear on his face, and he immediately walked quickly to another position next to the round table and looked at Xiang Yifei.

"You guessed it, it's 'demons', we all call them 'satan'. Satan, the devil of the Bible, is God's adversary. Xiang Yifei told to himself. Muna's eyes seemed to tell the fear in his heart, "This is how they kill people. As you can see, what they excel at is not gunfights, but assassination, taking out their targets without anyone else noticing. ”

Xiang Yifei bowed his head deeply. The expression on his face was a little hideous, as if he was about to lose his mind, his hands clutched his hair tightly, and the gin on the side knocked over to the ground.

"We're going to be like that, like Blake. We're going to get killed, too. ”

"You sober me up!" Ye Zifeng suddenly got up, grabbed Xiang Yifei's collar, and lifted Xiang Yifei from his seat. Xiang Yifei looked at Ye Zifeng blankly, but Ye Zifeng hit Xiang Yifei in the face with a punch without saying a word, and the heavy blow hit Xiang Yifei's head backwards. The capillaries in his nose immediately burst, and the blood splattered red Ye Zifeng and Xiang Yifei's collar. Ye Zifeng pushed hard and sat back on the seat of Xiang Yifei.

"Are you better?" Ye Zifeng's tone was cold, but Xiang Yifei was unmoved and sat in his seat. In this way, the two were in a stalemate for more than ten seconds.

"I feel better." Xiang Yifei finally nodded.

"I need your help." Ye Zifeng finally nodded after hearing Xiang Yifei's response, his face was still gloomy, but his voice became a lot softer, "We are now in the right position for the Defense Department to start a war." Or maybe someone in the Ministry of Defense is going to war, and we don't know why he wants to kill us. But we know that his goal is to kill us by any means necessary. ”

Ye Zifeng walked to the side of the bed and opened the curtains, filling the room with the light radiating from the morning sun slowly rising from the horizon outside the window.

"So I need my partners to give it their all, depression will only hurt us." Ye Zifeng suddenly raised the pistol in his hand and flew forward. Xiang Yifei's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Zifeng, not knowing why, "If you are depressed like this again." Drag us back, and I won't hesitate to pull the trigger. ”

Xiang Yifei's eyes when he looked at Ye Zifeng changed, from stunned to self-deprecating and then full of confidence.

"Don't worry." Xiang Yifei snorted, put his hands on his knees, and stood up from his seat. "If I'm depressed again, I'll take it upon myself. Rather than live in terror, it is better to die and be happy. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Zifeng's mouth, and the left hand holding the pistol was lowered. Ye Zifeng walked towards Xiang Yifei, and at the same time raised his right hand, and Xiang Yifei also raised his right hand in understanding, and the hands of the two were tightly clasped together.

"In short, let's analyze it first, it seems that Satan's actions are not rigorous, although it is said that killing people is silent, but it will always leave us with a lot of information."

Ye Zifeng walked to the window and looked at the somewhat messy futon.

"We don't know the cause of death yet, but we should know that the first fight took place on the bed. As you said, Blake is very skilled, so he should have found out as soon as he encountered the 'demon' sneak attack, and of course Blake resisted, but the people who came seemed to be a little more powerful, but they were also somewhat injured. ”

Ye Zifeng pointed to the trace of blood on the bed.

"It's a sign of a fight. Also, you say that the futon is warm, which means that the time when Blake was killed was ten minutes ago, but why would all the blood of an adult man be drained in such a short time? Ye Zifeng was a little puzzled, "There is still such a short time to arrange this crime scene and disappear without a trace, the other party should not have gone far, or he has not left this annex at all." ”

Ye Zifeng looked around, but didn't find anything wrong in this room. The reasoning seems to be at an impasse all of a sudden, but it is certain that the "demon" will never stop killing people so close to him, and there will definitely be a second time with this time.

"But why?" Xiang Yifei frowned and said, "Blake revealed important information that has lost its effect, but why kill Blake?" ”

Ye Zifeng looked up at Ye Zifeng, "We are only one wall away from this room, why didn't you come to kill us, but Blake?" If he wanted to, we wouldn't have had a chance to fight back. ”

"Makes sense." Ye Zifeng nodded, "Maybe it's deterrence, or is there something else?" In short, this matter cannot be known to anyone else. ”

"What about the empty Saionji Temple? Why don't you do a simple forensic examination? Xiang Yifei asked.

"No, it's none of our business." Ye Zifeng shook his head and turned his head to look at the bathroom door, "What we have to do is not to find the real culprit, but to find a way to prevent it." In the future, we will have to watch out for the attack of the 'demon'. ”

Xiang Yifei did not answer. also looked at the bathroom door, his expression was a little solemn, he didn't know what he was thinking, a fine light flashed in his eyes, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he looked like he was entangled in his heart. Xiang Yifei seemed to know something. However, Ye Zifeng, who was flying with his back to Xiang Yifei, did not see Xiang Yifei's expression.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back." Ye Zifeng didn't say anything more, and immediately walked towards the door. Xiang Yifei looked at Ye Zifeng's back in a complicated way, and didn't know whether to open his mouth, but in the end, he seemed to have made up his mind, and he didn't stop Ye Zifeng.

"It looks like it's going to start, I really didn't expect to be notified in this way." Xiang Yifei muttered in a low voice, "It seems that Ye Zifeng is ready, but." What is this? ”

Move out of the way and pick up something on the ground that had been stepped on before. It was a note, and the word "archer" should be written on it in round font, I don't know why, Xiang Yifei felt that this had something to do with Ye Zifeng.

"How?" The Assassin asked aloud as he looked at the Archer in the passenger seat. The atmosphere in the car was a bit heavy, and neither of them was reluctant to talk, but some things still had to be communicated before they could be known.

"Not good." Archer sighed. "I'm late."

Archer said in a deep voice, with an unusual poker face on his face. The solemn expression of the Prime Minister is shown as he gives a speech in the Diet.

"Blake was killed, I don't know who did it, but I left a note at the scene, hoping that Ye Zifeng would come to me after seeing it." Archer looked out the window, hoping that the cold wind would blow away the worries in his heart, still looking sad and puzzled, his eyes full of doubt and anxiety.

"I have just received a letter from the teacher, saying that the recent actions of pilgrims have been frequent, and the Federation has been in contact with pilgrims more and more, so let's be more careful." The Assassin pulled out an envelope from the storage box. Shake your hand and hand it to the archer on the side. Archer didn't immediately open the envelope, the mimeographed seal had been broken, indicating that the Assassin had seen the letter.

"Look at it, there's something to say to you in it, too." Assassin gestured to the envelope, but Archer looked curious.

"What did you say to me?" Archer didn't hesitate and immediately pulled out the letter inside.

Dear Mr. Archer,

Since I don't know your real name, allow me to address you as such.

I hope you haven't forgotten the agreement you made with me last year, and if you do, try to think back to that seventh bullet. I'm sure you'll remember it.

Now that things have made a new progress, it will take a long time to find out, but I think you should be able to understand, after all, this is not an easy matter. Dead people don't run, but we're not chasing a simple dead man.

Just yesterday, we found the place where Su Zhe was buried, but when we opened the coffin, we found that there was no body inside, only an empty syringe. We analyzed the chemical composition of the syringe and found a few traces of the genetically enhanced potion inside, so it is certain that the genetically enhanced potion kept Su Zhe alive, but I don't know why he had been incognito for forty years.

Su Ling is alive and well, but after the Pilgrim invasion, she has become very indifferent and does not contact anyone now.

Anyway, I'll report to you first, and I'll let you know if there's an update.

Your old friend Feng Fengxiang

"I'm suddenly starting to hate this old thing." With a look of disgust, Archer crumpled the letter paper in his hand into a paper ball and threw it into the paper basket beside him, "It's still such nonsense." But what I asked him to look up did get a little better. ”

"I still don't understand, why are you investigating Professor Su Zhe's matter? You should know that he is indeed dead. The Assassin frowned, Archer's actions reminded him of the past, and his heart was filled with sorrow unconsciously, and the already unhappy carriage immediately became more solemn, as if the air was no longer moving, giving people a feeling of suffocation.

"But in the letter just now, Feng Fengxiang said that Su Zhe is not dead." Archer pointed to the letter paper that had been crumpled into a ball of paper by himself, "I just want to find Su Zhe and ask him...... Ask him ......"

Archer's eyes were full of pain, and he hesitated to speak, as if the words were in his throat, and he couldn't swallow or spit out.

"What are you going to ask the professor?" The Assassin turned his head to look at Archer, but he was really surprised to see Archer, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing." Archer waved his hand, "I just want to ask Su Zhe, I ......"

Archer seems to have made a lot of determination.

"Who the hell am I?"

Ye Zifeng's first reaction when he saw the note was to pull Xiang Yifei aside to avoid everyone's eyes.

"Why didn't you just give it to me." Ye Zifeng asked with a note.

"I was thinking about something just now, and I hesitate to tell you." Xiang Yifei smiled a little embarrassedly, "Although I really want to hide it, but think about it, it may be helpful to return to me after you know." ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Zifeng was a little puzzled, "What else do you know?" ”

"About the message of the 'devil' killing." Xiang Yifei smiled mysteriously, but Ye Zifeng immediately grabbed Xiang Yifei's shoulders with both hands.

"Speak quickly!" Ye Zifeng interrupted Xiang Yifei's pretending to be a ghost, and shook Xiang Yifei's shoulder vigorously.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Xiang Yifei hurriedly pushed Ye Zifeng away, "I said I said!" ”

had to surrender, Ye Zifeng was very persistent in this kind of very clue-based thing, although if he kept his mouth shut, Ye Zifeng would not force himself to say it with a gun and his head, but he would definitely keep asking until you said it.
