Act V: The Bloodthirsty Angel 3
An Ran walked over to the triangular sigil and stopped...... Still no evidence has been found that the killer was a machine called Unknown.
At this time, the police had also found the time-shooting device at the garbage dump. In other words, Enron's deduced murder modus operandi was correct.
Of course, Enron knew that the murderer must have killed people in this way, but there was still a fatal flaw in this method. And this flaw is highly likely to lead to the failure of this assassination attempt.
If the courier came to Natsume's room before the timing device was activated, then he would have found the timer device that had not yet fired a bullet, and then he would definitely dismantle the timer device, so Natsume would not be killed, but wouldn't all the plans of the unknown be in vain? If the timer is not activated at 4 p.m., it will be removed directly by the hotel's automatic garbage cleaning system, is there no risk? Now it seems that Unknown's killing game is more like a gamble, and it is a big gamble.
Judging from the traces left at the scene, the murderer must be unknown. But if it's really unknown, then the target of its hunt should be corrupt officials and corrupt officials, why is it targeting Natsume? Miss Natsume...... Natsume has to protect her, where does she look like a corrupt official? No one cares more about the citizens than Natsume Sugo, why would such an incorruptible official be hunted by Unknown? Could it be that Unknown has changed the shooting specifications, no longer hunting down corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but turning his attention to clean officials?
An Ran frowned in thought, while the other officers had already begun to put the finishing touches on it.
An Ran turned over the clues at the scene again, and finally noticed a manuscript in Natsume's study-
Discussion on Several Issues Concerning the City's Biochemical Land Use and Statement of Interests of Both Parties
An Ran gasped, this is a transaction outline, since it is both parties, then there must be one more person besides Natsume, and that person is likely to become the next target of Unknown's hunt!
After reading the content of this manuscript, all of Enron's previous doubts were solved.
Natsume wants to build a biochemical experiment base in this city, although she is the mayor's secretary, but she is not the mayor after all, I don't know what the mayor's opinion will be on this kind of thing, in short, as long as this base is built, it means that countless lives will be destroyed by those science madness. An Ran's sister is a cyborg, so he knows what kind of pain it will be to become a cyborg. As far as he knew, Ling Rin had to replace the biochemical bones every year, because many places involved important nervous system, so she could not inject anesthetics during the bone replacement process, and she had to endure the severe pain caused by the replacement of bones from beginning to end during the operation. Enron couldn't imagine the pain. Perhaps this is the price at which they gain power. Ling Rin's like this is already good, even more miserable cyborgs abound, and many more people fall before they become cyborgs, and only about one cyborg will succeed in creating one cyborg out of every hundred. Now Natsume wants to build such a dehumanized experimental base here, what is the difference between this and indirect slaughter of humans? Probably because of this, Unknown decided to stop the establishment of this base, so the best way for it to stop the establishment was to kill her, and only then could the transaction be stopped completely.
And the courier is probably not a real courier, just a disguise, and the document he is holding in his hand in the surveillance must be the content of their transaction.
Therefore, the connection time between Natsume and the courier is no longer uncertain, but has become fixed. Unknown will naturally know the time of their meeting by hacking into the computer and other means, in other words, Unknown only planned this killing game after knowing the time of their meeting, and from his point of view, it is no longer a frightening gamble!
An Ran suddenly laughed.
Unknown's next target must be the one who makes a deal with Natsume! As long as he is alive, then after this deal with Natsume fails, he will definitely find another place to continue to build his base. Only when he dies can the establishment of this biochemical base be fundamentally prevented. Therefore, if Unknown wants to prevent the establishment of the biochemical base, he will definitely assassinate the person who made the deal with Natsume. As long as Enron finds that person and keeps guarding that person, he will definitely be able to wait until Unknown appears! In other words, that person is equivalent to luring Unknown to take the bait...... Bait.
An Ran thought that he could find the real culprit of these cases, that he could avenge Natsume, that he could prove to Xue Yin that he was not a waste, and the feeling of emptiness that had been accumulating in his chest was swept away, and he walked to the door and raised his head and let out a long breath.
The next thing he has to do is very simple, first of all, he must find the courier, from him can he know who the other party to the transaction will be, and only after knowing the identity of that person, can he wait for the rabbit.
An Ran entrusted this matter to Lin Mao, hoping that the police station would find the courier as soon as possible. Then Lin Mao immediately ordered his subordinates to search for the fake courier with all their might, believing that there would be a result soon.
An Ran glanced at Lin Mao with relief, now, the only people he could rely on in the Criminal Department were Wei Li and Lin Mao, but he didn't expect that Lin Mao would also be one of them. An Ran secretly said that the world is impermanent, and then accidentally noticed the tiny camera on the door.
Enron frowned. Isn't the surveillance of this hotel too much, even in the guest's room? An Ran shook his head, and then thought of something, and his pupils contracted suddenly. Wrong! No matter how perfect the hotel's monitoring is, it will never be installed in the guest's room! So this image on this door......... It's put on by unknown!
An Ran stared in amazement at the tiny miniature camera, which reflected An Ran's slightly fluttering pupils.
"Oops, oops, I didn't expect that it took so long to find out about me, it's really dull."
Suddenly, the voice of a robot rang out in the room.
An Ran looked back in amazement, and said in his heart, unknown?!
"Who!" Lin Mao shot in several random directions in the room.
"First, calm down. You're just going to waste your bullets, Officer Lin Mao. β
Unknown must have installed some kind of sounding device somewhere in the room, and Unknown should be observing the movement here through the picture in the camera not far away, and then using some communication device to send what he said here.
Although Enron knew that this was the case, he still couldn't calm down...... I've learned the language of a human being! How could he still calm down!
The first talking unknown in human history!
An Ran's eyes were shining, and he said excitedly, "Unknown! You're unknown, right!? β
The voice was silent for a long time, as if it couldn't figure out why Enron would guess its identity.
"Answer me!" An Ran said to the camera.
The mechanical voice rang out jerkily again.
"It seems that I, still, underestimate you too much, Ling Anran. Leave it to you, but it won't be, my style. β
An Ran was a little impatient, slammed his fist on the door, and said, "Who told you to say this!" Answer my question! Are you unknown! β
"Karma...... Karma ...... Karma ...... Oh Karma...... Karma ......"
The room burst into the sound of the other party's outrageous laughter. The people in the room had never heard such a terrible laugh, this laughter was like a deliberate imitation of human laughter, but it was not like it, and then it was left behind, eerie. Suddenly, it stopped laughing and continued to speak without a voice.
"Ling Anran, you are so smart, do you still think that I will stupidly reveal my identity to you? It's naΓ―ve. Stupidity. β
"I thought that in this investigation, I could, smoothly push the charge to the courier. If you just let these guys toss around, they won't be able to toss, what a reputation. I just didn't expect you to take over this matter. β
"Your appearance is not expected, it is my carelessness, Ling Anran. This inferior technique will be debunked, and there is nothing surprising about it. Ling Anran, you are very good, I remember you, and I am eyeing you, you have to be careful. Otherwise, the person you care about will die, such as the lady named Weili, or the lady named Lin Xueyin. If in the next moment, one of the two of them will definitely die, and you can only let one of them live, which one will you choose? β
If it can say this, it means that it must be at a nearby sniper point now, holding a sniper rifle at Enron. As long as Enron says which one to choose, then the one who is not chosen will be sniped by Unknown.
"If you hesitate like this, both of them will die, and now, everyone in the room, don't move, whoever moves will die."
Wei Li said calmly, "Choose me." β
An Ran looked at Xue Yin with some trepidation in his eyes.
Xue Yin shook her head, "Don't choose me!" β
An Ran looked at Xue Yin, and his eyes were even more frightened.
Lin Mao shouted into the room, "Why listen to you!" β
"Why?"
As soon as the voice fell, the glass on the window suddenly burst open, and a bullet hit Lin Mao's thigh.
Lin Mao suddenly fell.
Unknown said again in a calm tone.
"Do you know now? Why. β
"Okay, leave them alone, Enron, you need to make your own choice. Save one, or, neither. β
An Ran clenched his fists tightly and stared at the camera, his eyes cold to the extreme.
The other party's voice sounded again.
"What a horrible look."
"Just kidding you, why are you so excited? Karma ...... Karma ......"
"I know you too well for you to choose, Ka...... Karma ......"
An Ran's chest was filled with rage, he never thought he would be tricked by a robot.
"Don't get excited, I know you too well, and even I know what your next move will be after returning to the game this time, in order to investigate me."
"Wait for the rabbit."
"And I, the rabbit, poor rabbit."
An Ran chuckled in his heart.
It continued.
"But don't worry, even if I knew your movements, I would kill that guy as usual."
"Whether you participate or not has no effect on whether or not I kill someone. Do you think you can catch me as long as you guard the pillar? I will, silently, kill him, even under your protection. β
"Now you must be very unwilling, then we can make a bet if you can protect that guy and catch me successfully."
"I've planted a bomb in this room."
"I don't doubt your ability to protect that guy and catch me, but to do that, you have to ......"
"You've got to get out of here alive!"
Enron's pupils constricted. Damn it! He immediately shouted to the attendees, "Get out of here!" β
But it was too late.
Rumble!
A bomb in a corner is blowing up like crazy! The room burst into flames of sin! Engulfed everyone in an instant!
β¦β¦
A cloud of black smoke.
A large hole was blown out of the room.
This is the 24th floor. The wind from outside the level blew in from the entrance to the cave, gradually blowing away the black smoke.
An Ran got up from a pile of rubble, his ears buzzing and his mind dizzy, he shook his dusty hair and looked around, everyone passed out on the ground, still breathing. Fortunately, no one died.
In the end, his eyes fell on Xue Yin, and he was stunned!
Xue Yin clutched a charred curtain and hung it outside the floor, crumbling.
Fortunately, Enron still has the ability to move. An Ran tried to stand up, only to find that his left hand was pressed under a boulder, completely unable to move. It is estimated that his left hand is already a blur of flesh and blood.
At that moment, the charred curtain was torn a little with a thud.
Xue Yin glanced at the rag in a panic, it seemed that this rag couldn't last long, besides, because of the explosion, she was already injured, and she didn't have the strength to struggle anymore, and now she seemed to have nothing else to do except accept her fate. She closed her eyes, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
"Don't give up! Idiot! An Ran seemed to sense what Xue Yin was thinking and scolded. Hold on a little longer, and I'll be right over! β
Xue Yin was startled and opened her eyes.
Enron tried to move the stone out of the way, but soon realized how stupid he was to do so, and gave up on the method. Then he endured severe pain and desperately dragged his left hand, which had already been crushed and fractured, out, but still couldn't pull it out. An Ran cursed damned.
At this time, the tattered curtain finally could not support it, and it broke very simply. Xue Yin began to fall due to gravity. She glanced helplessly at the sky one last time, and found that there was no fear of death in her mind, only the delicate face of a boy in her mind. That boy is called Enron.
"Don't!"
An Ran watched Xue Yin fall in despair, screaming in pain.
An Ran, who lost his mind, took out his pistol and shot wildly at the wrist of his left hand! Suddenly, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the minced meat kept splashing on An Ran's face during the shooting. The stones were splattered with blood, and An Ran's body was also stained with his own blood, his eyebrows were hideous, his eyes were red, and he endured severe pain, but there was no trace of pain on his resolute face.
In the end, in the sound of gunshots, Enron's wrist broke in response!
