Chapter 41: Behind the Fog
The hood was ripped off. Ye Yu opened his eyes, and a dimly lit abandoned factory appeared in front of him, and he was tied to a chair in the center of the factory.
It should have been almost an hour since Wu Xuebing was escorted to an old car in the alley near the subway entrance, I wonder if Director Lou has found any clues left behind? Ye Yu thought secretly in his heart.
Although he couldn't directly leave obvious hints under Wu Xuebing's surveillance, he still quietly kicked off a piece of painted wagon while the other party was not paying attention when he got into the car, and deliberately left footprints, hoping to help Lou Yue and them track down.
"Where is Xiao Yan? Didn't you say that I would release people when I came! Ye Yu raised his head and questioned the gloomy man in front of him, and at the same time his eyes quietly swept around, as if he did not see the figure of the "accomplice" that Wu Xuebing had mentioned earlier.
The man stretched out his fingers and gently pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, turned his head and gestured to the corner behind him, only to see a familiar figure in the right corner of the factory prostrate on the ground, motionless.
"Xiao Yan!? What did you do with her!! Ye Yu suddenly became excited, and wanted to get up and step forward, but his hands and feet were tied up by hemp rope and he couldn't move at all.
"If something happens to her, I won't let you go!" Ye Yu roared angrily and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with resentment.
"Hehe, a prisoner under the stairs, he dares to speak wildly." Wu Xuebing sneered and pinched Ye Yu's chin and turned his face over. "Tell me, how do you keep me from letting me go?"
Ye Yu gritted his teeth and glared at the other party, speechless.
"Weigh yourself before you say big things, don't measure yourself!" Wu Xuebing let go of his hand with disdain. "Don't worry, this woman is still alive, but she is not honest, so I fed her some drugs and told her to stop."
Saying that, Wu Xuebing dragged a stool and sat down in front of Ye Yu.
"Since I promised you to let her go, it will definitely be done, but ...... Whether others are willing to let it go or not is another matter. β
"Others?"
"Yes." Wu Xuebing crossed his fingers, sat on the chair, and looked directly at Ye Yu. "To be honest, I don't have any personal grudges against you, or the woman in the back. Tie you up just because those people are interested in you. β
"Those people...... Is it 'devouring' tissue? Are you one of them? β
"You know quite a bit. But one thing you are wrong about is that I am only working with them, or rather, just business partners. β
Ye Yu frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Literally." Wu Xuebing took off his gold-rimmed glasses, took out his glasses cloth and wiped them. "I do experiments for them, and they help me fulfill my wishes, but they just use each other."
"Experiments? I don't understand...... What does this have to do with you killing Chen Yan? β
"It seems that you really don't know anything......" Wu Xuebing sighed, "Well, with the style of those people, I estimate that you will not escape if you fall into their hands, for the sake of my former colleagues, I will talk to you before they come here, so that you can die clearly." β
As he spoke, Wu Xuebing put the wiped glasses back on. "Chen Yan will die because he is insatiable. I'm sure you've already found out what he did with that ring. β
"Chen Yan's abuse of the Blood Keystone caused the cranial nerves to be extremely fragile...... So you took advantage of this and set a 'virtual reality' trap to scare him to death? β
"Looks like you know a lot about that kind of stone, so I won't have to bother to talk about it." Wu Xuebing smiled, "That's right, although the Blood Keystone is magical, the side effects are also quite large. Chen Yan used the Blood Keystone so frequently in a short period of time, he didn't have long to live, and I just gave him a ride in advance...... Through a little stimulation. β
Wu Xuebing's expression returned to indifference, and he began to narrate in a tone that had nothing to do with himself.
"Actually, this layout has started very early. Chen Yan also arranged for me to get this ring, because I knew very well that that person would definitely use this ring madly in order to satisfy his own selfish desires. Wu Xuebing's face showed disdain. Of course, he didn't know it had side effects. However, thanks to him, we have obtained a lot of valuable experimental data. β
"...... experimental data?"
"Hehe, think about it yourself, something as good as the Blood Keystone, why don't I hide it myself and use it for special purposes, but send it to a scumbag like Chen Yan?" Wu Xuebing hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at Ye Yu with a mocking expression.
"Bloodkeystone...... Side effect...... Data ......" Ye Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then his eyes widened suddenly. "You're conducting human experiments?! Chen Yan is just your guinea pig? β
"Guessed the point, not bad." Wu Xuebing laughed and pretended to applaud twice.
"The Blood Keystone is not something that belongs to this world, every time it is used, it consumes the user's life, and if it is not evolved, the price of use is too high. In order to carry out artificial modification, the relevant brainwave data of the user is indispensable, so we need experiments like Chen Yan's. β
"With your personal ability, it is impossible to transform the Blood Keystone, you can only 'devour' them......" Ye Yu looked up at Wu Xuebing. So that's what you called 'collaboration'? You're helping 'devour' them find testers and collect data on the use of the Bloodkeystone! β
"Yes. And since you know that Chen Yan has fallen into the trap of 'virtual reality', then you must have also discovered the secret hidden in the ring of this Blood Key Ring. As he spoke, Wu Xuebing took out a small ring-shaped object from his arms.
The blood-red gem was glowing with a multicolored luster, and Ye Yu recognized it in just a momentβthis thing was undoubtedly the Blood Key Ring!
"The ring of this ring is not only a tool for 'virtual reality', but also a miniature data collector, as long as the user wears this ring, his brainwave data can be synchronized to us." Wu Xuebing took back the ring and carefully put it in his pocket.
"Chen Yan really lived up to my expectations, he consumed himself to the limit, originally I planned to wait for him to die violently and then find a chance to recover the ring, but I didn't expect Chen Yan to be targeted by you, in order to avoid extraneous branches, I can only take action to end him in advance and get back the blood keystone."
"On the night of Chen Yan's accident, the windbreaker man photographed in his bracelet must be you." Ye Yu looked directly at the other party and asked tentatively.
"Hmph, speaking of this, it really surprised me." Wu Xuebing snorted and cast his cold gaze on Ye Yu. "My plan was perfect, if it weren't for you......"
"Because of me?"
"Actually, I already knew that as long as Chen Yan died, you would definitely find me, so I used the Blood Keystone to modify Chen Yan and Jin Biao's memories in advance, so that they thought that I had died at their hands, so that as long as I found the right time to disappear, they would naturally become my helpers in order to cover up my 'crime' and help me get out of suspicion perfectly. And I, as a 'ghost man', will carry out the plan without any scruples. Wu Xuebing had a smug smile on his face.
"Chen Yan's work schedule is very regular, and that night I calculated that Chen Yan sneaked into the H Group park when he got off work, planning to remotely start the device after Chen Yan entered the private car, use 'virtual reality' to kill him, and at the same time recover the Blood Key Ring before his body was found. I already knew the location of the monitoring probe in the company, and there were basically no people in the company at that time, so I was confident that I could complete the plan without realizing it, but I didn't expect it...... You show up out of nowhere. β
Wu Xuebing gently leaned his body back in the chair, changed his sitting position, and looked down at Ye Yu with a squint.
"To avoid the cameras and patrolling security guards in the company, you have to follow a specific route and act at a certain point in time. Before carrying out this plan, I did a precise calculation, but I still didn't calculate it, and a hairy boy suddenly appeared on my action line, disrupting the overall rhythm and making me miss the preset time point, so that Chen Yan discovered my whereabouts. β
Therefore, the reason why Chen Yan deliberately made a detour to follow and take photos at that time, as well as his suspicious behavior of avoiding the camera...... It's all because he saw the 'revenant' who should have died in his hands suddenly appear in front of him! Ye Yu suddenly realized. I see, no wonder Chen Yan's behavior was so strange at that time. β
"Hehehe...... But no matter how hard Chen Yan struggled, the moment he got into the car, the end was already doomed. The reflection of the glasses was lined with a sinister laughter, and the man in front of him made Ye Yu feel cold from the bottom of his heart.
"You should know what happened next, I wanted to solve it with you to prevent future troubles, but I accidentally found that you are very 'special', maybe it is because of this 'devouring' that those people will be interested in you."
"Then you did the murder of Jin Biao and Li Li later?"
"Isn't it normal to dispose of the chess pieces that have been used?" Wu Xuebing spread his hands with an indifferent expression. "Besides, a scum like Jin Biao has so much blood on his hands, it's not a pity to die at all."
"What about Li Li? She hasn't done anything hurtful, and even lied in front of the police to help you, should she die?! β
"Sometimes stupidity is a sin." Wu Xuebing's face was full of indifference.
"But they're all living lives!" Ye Yu roared. "No matter what, you have no right to play with their lives!"
"Hmph, don't you think it's ridiculous that you, who can't even control your own life and death, still shamefully accuse me of playing with other people's lives?" Wu Xuebing stood up and looked at Ye Yu with a mocking face. "Okay, I've pretty much said what I need to say, is there anything else I want to ask before you die?"
"Your 'wish'......" Ye Yu stared at Wu Xuebing's face and said word by word. What kind of 'wish' will they help you fulfill to make you sell your soul like this! β
"It's 'rebirth.'"
A complicated look flashed in Wu Xuebing's eyes, with expectation and relief...... There is an almost pathological fanaticism.
"All of this is for my little snow!"
