Chapter 14: Cain, the Dervishe, and the Savage

Yang Fan took out a smartphone from the pocket of his regular clothes and took a few photos of the silver-haired woman from different angles, especially the tattoo on her collarbone, and made several detailed close-ups. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I saw this pattern in the archives of the Ninth Bureau, and it was related to an organization called the Society of Cain, which planned the assassination of Pope Paul II in 81, but later in the media, Allah took the blame for it." Yang Fan locked the screen and put the phone back in his pocket.

"How do you know that Allah is behind the pot?" Liu Hong felt quite incomprehensible, although it is true that the Second Department of the General Staff Department is an intelligence department, this kind of matter, which has no direct relationship with national interests, is obviously not within the scope of attention of the Second Department.

"You hadn't entered the intelligence system at that time, and it was normal that you didn't know the inside story, but at that time, people in several major intelligence agencies around the world knew that Allah was behind the black pot, and the reason was very simple, where are there Allah believers who don't cut their skins?" Yang Fan pushed the frame of his glasses with the back of his hand and continued: "As for more information, no one has left, I'm afraid only people within the Holy See know the truth, and even the name Cain was given by a third party, because an assassin's ring was engraved with the name 'Cain'. ”

"She also has a ring on her hand." Speaking of rings, Liu Hong subconsciously glanced at the silver-haired woman's hands, and saw a ring on the ring finger of her right hand, which was a diamond ring with a very classic style.

Yang Fan obviously noticed it a long time ago, and did not have a strong reaction, reached out and took the ring off her hand, picked it up and looked at the light, and found a name in the inner ring of the ring - Eli Cain.

Then he handed the ring to Liu Hong casually, and after the latter read it, his face changed slightly, but he didn't expect that this matter really had something to do with the mysterious Cain that Yang Fan said.

Things that were already very complicated became even more confusing for a while.

"What kind of organization is this Cain? Why did they attack our project? Liu Hong asked with a frown.

"No one knows, but there's such speculation in Western intelligence agencies." Yang Fan packed the engraved diamond ring in a evidence collection bag, and then folded it in half several times and put it into the close pocket, "'Cain' is an extremely ancient surname in the West, this surname was first seen in the Old Testament and the Book of Genesis, and the first child born to Adam and Eve was called Cain. There is also a legend about Cain, from the "Book of Nod", after Cain was exiled by God, wandered to the vicinity of the Red Sea, and met Lilith who jumped into the Red Sea to become a witch of the night because of disobedience to God, Cain learned to use magic and power using blood from Lilith, plus God's oath to him "not to kill him", so he gave Cain the condition of eternal life, and the use of magic and power requires a lot of blood, so Cain has another identity in the world - the ancestor of vampires. Some people believe that this Cain has a certain relationship with the Cain in myths and legends. ”

"Vampire ......" Liu Hong heard Yang Fan say such absurd words in such a serious tone on such a serious occasion, and he had a feeling that he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

How can there be vampires in this world, isn't this something made up in movies, television, and novels?

But remembering the research content of the Roselle project, he reserved his opinion.

After speaking, Yang Fan stood up and walked to the entrance of the hall to check on the other deceased.

When the unkempt old man was still alive, he had a terrifying face, and the makeup on his face was like an actor directly pulled from the set of a horror movie, and his appearance after death was even more terrifying.

The skull was completely torn off, and only half of the head remained, and the brain marrow flowed all over the ground like gruel.

"Is this a vampire too?" Liu Hong said in his heart, in his cognition and understanding, shouldn't vampires all be noble and cold? At least that's how it has always been shown in film and television themes.

"It seems that this matter is not only involved in Cain's forces." Yang Fan squatted down and said thoughtfully, he didn't seem to have any feelings for this bloody and terrifying picture, and his performance was extremely calm.

Most of the doubts in Liu Hong's heart were dispelled by this sentence, and he asked, "Is it a combination of several forces?" ”

"That's how it should be." Yang Fan brushed away the old man's hair, which looked like dead grass, revealing a neck covered with dirt.

Around his neck hung a necklace made of ivory cards, which had turned into a yellow like tartar because it was so dirty, and some words were faintly engraved on the signs, like Arabic, but more flat and rigorous.

"This is Sanskrit, and not many people use it now, only Brahmanism and Yellow and White Buddhism in India and Pakistan are still in use." Liu Fan took off the ivory necklace from the old man's neck, packed it in an evidence bag, and wanted to put it in his pocket, but it was too big and not very convenient, so he had to carry it in his hand, and then hugged his arms and cheeks, stared at the old man's corpse for a while, and said: "It should be a Brahmanical ascetic, and the joints are deformed, which is obviously caused by practicing ancient yoga for a long time." ”

"Aren't Indian dervishes just a bunch of masochistic and martyred fanatics?" Xue Tao muttered quietly behind Yang Fan.

Compared with the mystery of the Cain, Indian dervishes are not so unfamiliar to ordinary people, and they are often seen in various online forums.

The actions of these fanatics are often breathtaking, such as long-term fasting or even deprivation of water, lying on a bed full of nails, walking on hot charcoal, drinking urine and eating, and not bathing for decades.

In the eyes of normal people, it is simply a group of neurotics.

How could such a group of people form a united front with Cain? Obviously very unreasonable.

"Don't underestimate these people, there are indeed a lot of ascetics who are swaggering or floating on the surface, and even account for the vast majority, but a small number of people do have real skills, there is such a record in the archives of the Ninth Bureau, there have been ascetics fighting with crocodiles in the Ganges, rescuing people who have fallen into the water, and there have been cases of dervishes pushing down adult male elephants with one hand, which is not something that normal people can do." Yang Fan said without looking back.

The group followed him into the hallway outside the door, where the burly humanoid monster lay in a pool of blood, long without signs of life.

What killed him was the warhead that was fired into the brain through the eye socket.

Yang Fan walked back and forth around the corpse twice, and took out his mobile phone to take a photo, this time he was obviously stumped, frowning, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Don't you know where this monster came from?" Liu Hong asked on the side.

Yang Fan didn't answer, but asked everyone a question, "What do you think this thing looks like?" ”

"Werewolves?" Xue Tao was the first to guess that the reason why he answered like this was completely inspired by the vampire, but this monster was different from the werewolf in the movie, the teeth were not like them, and they did not bulge outward.

Yang Fan shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that this thing is really made up of film and television themes, and there is no relevant record in the nine games, I think this thing is like a Shennongjia savage." ”

"Shennongjia savages?" When Liu Hong heard him say this, his expression couldn't help but become solemn.

Although he didn't know exactly what kind of existence the Shennongjia Savage was, and he wasn't even sure if the monster had an IQ, this thing should definitely be classified as a 'domestic local force' according to its origin.

In this way, several unknown forces at home and abroad have been mixed together, and the whole thing has become more and more complicated.

Coupled with some speculations he had made before, all of a sudden, the psychological pressure doubled.

Even if Yang Fan is standing in front of him now, he is vaguely worried about the prospects of the project team.

Yang Fan didn't notice the change in Liu Hong's expression, and his attention was all on the two missile launchers on the monster's shoulder, these two launchers were obviously individually customized, and he couldn't tell what model they were, but this was hard for him, as long as the missile launcher was disassembled and looked at what parts were used, he could still find a trace of clues.

As long as we find out which manufacturer produced these two missile launchers, we will be able to find out a lot of things.

That's one of the most useful clues at the moment.

Yang Fan asked the two soldiers to remove the missile launcher from the monster's shoulders and put it into a sturdy evidence box, when a major officer with an armband of the General Staff walked out of the elevator and walked towards this side.

"Minister, the encrypted satellite transmission channel has been established." The major officer had a silver suitcase in his hand, so there was no salute.

"Yes." Yang Fan nodded, then turned to Wang Lanqing and said: "The project base may have a second attack at any time, in order not to destroy your hard work and the country's investment, we must send the experimental data back to Gyeonggi as soon as possible, and trouble Academician Wang to give Comrade Xiao Zhang a download permission." ”

Wang Lanqing listened to his words, didn't think so much, glanced at the chest mark of the major officer, and said, "Comrade Zhang Mingyu, come with me." ”

"Wait a minute." Liu Hong suddenly interrupted at this time, raised his hand to stop Wang Lanqing, and said to Yang Fan: "There are some things I want to tell you in private, teacher." ”

Yang Fan hadn't heard Liu Hong call himself like this for a long time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, thought about it slightly, waved his hand to Zhang Mingyu, signaled him to wait for a while, and then made a gesture to let Liu Hong go to the hall with him, and the two leaned over through the hole in the iron door and came behind a load-bearing pillar in the hall, avoiding everyone.

"Last month, that is, on November 23, the Military Commission issued a red-headed document down, urging the project team to make a breakthrough before the end of the year, otherwise the project team will be banned and the body of Luo Shen will be transferred to the National Academy of Sciences for research, teacher, do you know whose claim this is?" Liu Hong asked straight to the point.

"This document was signed jointly by the Military Council, and it was voted on at the meeting." Yang Fan looked at Liu Hong's slightly emotional eyes, as if he could see through his thoughts.

"There's always a proposer." Liu Hongdao.

Yang Fan seemed to have considered whether to answer this question for a long time, and after pondering for a long time, he still gave the answer: "Vice Chairman Yu raised it." ”

Hearing this answer, Liu Hong fell into silence, did not make any statement for a long time, and after about half a minute, said in a declarative tone: "Only a very small number of people in the Military Committee and the Second Department of the General Staff know the inside story of the Luoshen Project. ”

Yang Fan nodded undeniably, the confidentiality level of the Roselle project team is higher than top secret, and even the Southwest Military Region, which is carrying out the defense task, does not know the specific content of the project, and claims that it is a national defense project.

"But the first thing the intruder said to me was to ask: Where's Roselle?" Liu Hong's voice was very slow, but it was still difficult to hide the coldness revealed in his words.
