Chapter 199: Crisis is Imminent
"From his body...... Pick up something?? “
Yang Yunyi looked at his father in front of him incredulously and put down the information in his hand.
"I need his blood, and some of his skin tissue." The middle-aged man behind the desk said without changing his face. "Although it's not impossible for me to send someone to deal with this matter, after all, if you are rude to him directly, it may be a little unnecessary trouble, so you can only secretly find an opportunity to collect it when you are in private contact with him."
"No...... This ......" Yang Yunyi's heart suddenly swelled with an ominous feeling. "You...... Why do you want these things? What the hell are you going to do to him......"
"You don't need to know that much."
Without waiting for Yang Yunyi to continue asking, the middle-aged man interrupted him bluntly.
"This matter is urgent, I need you to do it immediately, but remember not to let anyone else know about it during the operation, especially An Xi." The middle-aged man explained to himself, completely ignoring the shocked expression on Yang Yunyi's face.
"Yes...... But he was my colleague after all...... My friend, too! You've got to give me a reason to do these things, right?? ”
Yang Yunyi argued nervously, this was a rare move for him who had always followed his father's instructions, and the middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Yang Yunyi to be so crooked about his orders, and the expression on his face gradually became a little unhappy.
"Reason? Hmph, my command is the reason for your actions. ”
The middle-aged man looked directly at his son, and there was no mercy in his words.
"Although your current position is temporarily suspended in the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, don't forget, no matter where you are, you will always be a member of MI1 and my son forever!"
Yang Yun was stunned and lowered his head in silence.
"This thing should have been done a long time ago, but it has not been done because of An Xi's deterrence, but now that the situation has changed, this matter cannot be delayed any longer."
The middle-aged man said, throwing a bag of objects in his hand in front of Yang Yunyi.
"This is the equipment you need to gather, if there is anything else you need, let me know."
Yang Yunyi stared at the bag of objects thrown in front of him, did not speak, and did not reach for it.
"Blood, body tissues...... Are you going to do biochemical experiments? Na Ye Yu's flesh and blood? Yang Yunyi raised his head slowly, although his usual respectful tone, he vaguely revealed a trace of stubbornness that was different from the past.
"Even if I help you bring these back this time, what about the future? If these samples are not enough...... Are you going to keep taking more from him? ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face was obviously a little ugly, but he did not continue to scold, but looked at the abnormal Yang Yunyi in silence, and after a while, he opened his mouth coldly:
"Do you take all of this for granted? Have you forgotten why I agreed to let you take the Investigator Exam in the first place?! ”
Yang Yunyi's body trembled violently, as if he had thought of something.
"Although the interior of today's system seems to be calm, in fact, the dark tide is turbulent...... No, in fact, these open and secret battles have already begun from the moment the Blood Keystone was discovered, and no department can stay out of it! The middle-aged man said.
"Over the years, although the military department has maintained its neutrality with the outside world under the mediation of Lan Jue, in fact, all departments have been paying attention to the trends of the game between the two factions and adjusting their respective strategies at all times. The reason why our MI1 has always been able to occupy a dominant position in the military department is precisely because we can quickly weigh the disadvantages of the times and make a favorable choice in the struggle between the two factions. ”
"So it's for the benefit of the department that I'm asked to do this kind of thing this time......?" Yang Yunyi smiled bitterly. "If you asked me to join the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau in the first place to show favor to the 'conservatives', then this time you took action against Ye Yu without telling Director An...... Is it for the sake of the "radicals"?? ”
"As I said, the situation has changed." The middle-aged man glared at Yang Yunyi and said solemnly. "The 'balance' has been broken, the 'war' is inevitable, if you want to stand firm in this political storm, you can only fight for more bargaining chips for yourself, and you, as the future pillar of MIA, have no shirk responsibility!"
“……”
Yang Yun was in a state of confusion, but he couldn't refuse. He stretched out his trembling hand and took the bag of items on the table in his hand.
Blood bottles, simple ice boxes, miniature knives......
Although it was not the first time that Yang Yunyi had performed a similar task, the items in his hand suddenly weighed as heavy as a thousand catties at the thought that these cold utensils would be used on Ye Yu's body.
"I'll give you three days, which should be plenty of time for you, and after three days, leave your things at the place I designated, and I'll arrange for someone to pick them up." Seeing that his words seemed to have an effect, the middle-aged man's tone calmed down slightly.
"Three days...... I'm afraid not. Yang Yunyi lowered his eyes, desperately hiding the entanglement and pain in his eyes.
"Ye Yu was not in good health two days ago and fainted, Director An took more care of him, and I didn't have much chance to get close to him......"
Yang Yunyi whispered, subconsciously looking for an excuse, even though he understood that this task was already an established fact, he still couldn't help but want to say something to delay the execution.
"And...... And in his condition, even if this blood tissue is collected, I'm afraid the effect is not very good, so ......"
"Seven days."
As if he saw Yang Yunyi's thoughts, the middle-aged man reported a deadline.
"In seven days, I'm going to get these things, if you don't do it by then......" A chill suddenly burst out of the middle-aged man's tiger-like eyes. Hmph, I'm afraid I'm not going to use gentle means against that 'expulsor' anymore, and you, I'll be recalled from the Special Investigation Bureau immediately, I want you to think about it. ”
Yang Yunyi gritted his teeth, silently put away the bag of objects, and left the office with a pale face.
Silence returned to the office again, but the solemnity between the middle-aged man's brows did not diminish in the slightest. He looked at the back of his son's departure, sighed silently, and then seemed to think of something, and whispered to himself:
"The Expulsor fainted...... Still after An Xi arrived, could it be ......?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then picked up the intercom on his desk and dialed a number.
"Minister, what are your instructions?" Adjutant Xia's voice came from the phone.
"An Xi has come to Xiayang City." The middle-aged man said, a sharp light flashing through his pupils.
"There's something I want you to investigate as soon as possible." ——
"You...... What do you say?! ”
Ye Yu looked directly at An Xi, dumbfounded.
"You say it's like hell...... Is it a "memory" from the Blood Keystone!? No...... No, it can't be! How is it possible for a stone to have a memory!? ”
Ye Yu shook his head again and again, An Xi's previous explanation was obviously beyond his understanding of the world.
"It's true that the Blood Keystone doesn't 'generate' memories, but that doesn't mean it can't 'have' memories." An Xi said calmly. "What you see is the memory picture that the outside world 'gives' the Blood Keystone."
"What do you mean? I don't understand......" Ye Yu still understands can't.
"As a magical substance flying from the sky, the Blood Keystone not only has the power to greatly enhance the human brain waves, but also has the function of storing brain wave electromagnetic signals; The memories and consciousness generated by human brain activity are actually electromagnetic signals, which can also be stored by the Blood Keystone. An Xi explained. To put it simply, the Bloodkeystone is like a "storage container" for memories. ”
"The ...... of memory, the 'storage container'?? ”
"Yes, along with the storage of 'memory', the corresponding 'consciousness' and 'emotion' will also be included in the Blood Keystone. However, although the blood keystone can be used as a carrier of memory consciousness, because it is not like the human brain after all, the storage capacity and entry conditions are also quite harsh, and the general level of brainwave signals cannot enter at all, and only the brain memory signal that reaches a certain strength can be recorded by the blood keystone. ”
An Xi suddenly changed his words. "For example...... Brainwave signals generated in a "certain situation". ”
"Brainwaves that reach a certain intensity...... In 'a particular situation'...... Difficult, isn't it ......!! Ye Yu suddenly realized something. Could it be that when people use the Blood Keystone...... Will the user's memories and consciousness be stored in the Blood Keystone?! ”
"That's right, and whether intentionally or not, as long as the Blood Keystone is used, the sharply enhanced user's brainwave signal will inevitably be ingested by the Blood Keystone." An Xi nodded and said. "It's just that the time for each use of the Blood Keystone is usually not very long, so what is recorded is only some 'fragments'."
"But no matter how many 'fragments' are left, as long as the Blood Keystone is used, it will definitely leave traces in the Blood Keystone, right?" Ye Yu suddenly thought of a possibility. "I also used the Bloodkeystone before, does that mean that my memories and consciousness will also remain in that bloodkeystone to a greater or lesser extent, and may be read by the next user??"
"Theoretically speaking, this is true, but not every user can read the memories stored in the Blood Keystone, in fact, only people who can 'resonate' with the Blood Keystone can do it, and except for some special circumstances, only those who have this kind of resonance physique are ......," An Yu said, casting his gaze on Ye Yu.
"Only ...... 'Destroyer'...... ......" Ye Yu instantly understood, and lowered his head with a tangled expression. "Because my special physique can resonate with the Blood Keystone, only I can see the memories stored by the Blood Keystone, and see that kind of picture......"
Thinking of this, Ye Yu's head began to ache faintly again, and in the confusion, he suddenly remembered the exotic woman he saw in that "hell" at that time, as well as the danger and hostility in the other party's eyes, and his heart suddenly moved.
"Memory...... That is, those hell-like images I saw were actually the memories of people who had used this Blood Keystone before?? But this kind of scene ...... It can't happen in modern times! ”
The uneasiness in his heart grew like weeds, Ye Yu raised his head and looked at An Xi.
"This memory, this terrible consciousness...... Who the hell is in this Blood Keystone?! (To be continued.) )
