Fanny and Duru also froze at the entrance to the chamber, staring in amazement. The semi-circular hall exudes a symmetrical and harmonious charm, and the elegant arched walls made of fine Chinese sandstone and Roman antique plaster accentuate the mottled sedimentary breccia columns. Six life-like statues of the founders of each faction, taller than life, are arranged in an arc on an open field paved with yellow and blue marble glazed floor tiles.

Is this the big conference hall where we're going to listen to the speeches?! But······

It's so quiet that it feels daunting.

At this time, row after row of seats were empty, and there was not a single listener. I turned my head again to look down the small hallway to the west, where there was also a large sign indicating the location of the conference hall. It seems that we are not mistaken, there is only one large conference hall on this floor.

At this time, a male docent was walking towards us, and I hurried to meet him. "I'm sorry, but do you know where Mr. Lawrence's speech on war reflections, "Wisdom and Wisdom," was held?"

"What?" The male docent hesitated, "I don't know about this, ma'am, when will this speech begin?" ”

"That's it······ Right now! ”

The male docent looked at me strangely, and he shook his head, "If you talk about it now, then I really haven't heard of any speaking activities. Are you in the wrong place? ”

Confused, I said "thank you" and went back to my teammates. The male docent had already walked away, and the three of us could only stare at each other in a daze. Isn't it a notice to come here?! Could it be that we are mistaken! Suddenly, Fanny's and I both had eyes fixed on Durrou, for we both remembered one thing, it was Durrou, the same thing that Durroux had told us to come to the International Building to listen to the speech.

Sensing our eyes, Durux was a little alarmed, and said forcefully, "Yes, I informed you of the truth, but I also conveyed it to you after receiving a short notice." ······ But I can't remember exactly who the person who informed me was, it seems to be a ······ from the second shift."

Durau's forgetfulness is well known, and it would be useless to figure out what was right and what was wrong now, because we must have been completely late. The door to the conference hall that I had opened was still wide open, and we stepped inside, finding a seat near the door and settling down. It's time to rest, we've traveled a long way to get here.

In the next step, we can only go home, but before we go back, we can also visit this international building, after all, it is rare to visit. I was resting and thinking.

Suddenly Fanny stood up, and she whispered, "Look, there's a man sitting over there!" We can ask him again if he knows anything about the presentation. Then he took action.

Fanny was still sharp-eyed, and there was indeed a person sitting on the side seat in the third row in front of the conference hall, this person was wrapped in a large gray cloak, and the color difference between him and the seat was very small, and if you didn't look closely, it was really possible to ignore the existence of this person! Durroux and I followed Fanny silently.

Fanny walked to the third row of the chamber, and she turned sideways to face the man in the long cloak, and was about to open her mouth to speak, but suddenly as if struck by lightning, her mouth did not close at all, and she stood in place.

I hurried over to Fanny, and the man sitting across from me and Fanny immediately came into view. He's so skinny that people can't help but feel a little scared. In the dark gray robe he was wrapping around, he didn't seem to be wearing anything, and a large part of his thin body was exposed, but fortunately, the key parts were not exposed. On his withered face, a pair of reddish-brown eyes opened surprisingly wide, as if he was staring at somewhere in the distance, as if he was witnessing some strange scene, and the stiff smile on his face seemed to be permeated with an unusual look of horror.

Our arrival didn't seem to attract the attention of the man, and his vivid smile as he stared into the distance was enduring and incredible. I called out to him tentatively, "Sir! But it didn't cause the slightest shift in his gaze, and his moving gaze stared straight into a distant place, as if he had been fascinated.

An ominous feeling crossed me, and I slowly raised my right hand and reached out to the man who was behaving strangely. His right hand moved slowly, and he was about to approach the man's body, but he still didn't move. Could it be that he is already ......?! My right hand couldn't help but tremble a little. Eventually, my right finger finally stopped next to the man's nose, and I tentatively touched it, but there was not even a faint breath under the nose, and the corners of my mouth that were frozen like a cold ice lump under the nose were now wide open, as if trying to devour my right hand, and immediately I felt that my whole body was cold and biting.

I retracted my right hand in a panic. This is...... It's a dead man! A ghostly dead man! Although the corpse is disguised quite realistically, it can still be shocked once it gets close. I involuntarily took a step back in fright, and so did Durroux, but Fanny didn't move an inch like a stake being nailed.

She stared at the strange-looking male corpse, a teardrop slowly falling from the corner of her eye, and she muttered to herself, "Rick······ Rick ······"

I held Vannie in her arms, and her body was trembling like chaff. Then I helped Fanny to sit on an empty chair not far away. As soon as she sat down, her whole body threw herself into my arms, and tears rolled down like jade beads with broken threads. Thankfully, her consciousness finally returned to reality.

"He's Rick, though he's so thin that he doesn't look like a human anymore······ But judging by that familiar facial features, I'm sure he's Rick. He and my brother are like-minded good friends, and they are always working on all sorts of novelty gadgets together. When I was a kid I loved being around them. However, five years ago he mysteriously disappeared. My brother and his family searched all the places he could, but they still couldn't find him. Later, they did not even miss the nameless corpse that died in the wilderness, but unfortunately they still couldn't find a trace of him. The search went on for several years, and my brother seemed to be a different person, he always locked the door and stayed alone. Originally, he longed for the Tongjin Bogu faction very much, but since he lost his best confidant, he was like a frosted eggplant, and he no longer had any ambitions, and in the end he stayed in his own sincere solidarity faction. ”

"For five years, Rick had evaporated from the world, leaving not even a trace of it, but now he was a zombie sitting in front of me, and his body was so emaciated that it was a sigh of relief. It's incredible! The cruelty of reality is really unpredictable! She wiped away her tears.

I gently soothed her, and listening to her tearful narration, my heart felt like I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and it was very uncomfortable. I didn't expect Fanny to be so familiar with this monstrous man, and I couldn't help but feel sympathy for this poor man.

Duru ran out to find the building's security personnel, and several security personnel quickly ran in through the entrance to the conference hall. The leader is a man with the temperament of an officer, he is a full 1.85 meters tall, burly, strong, well-defined facial features, and his short shaved light blue hair is matched with a tanned and red face, which makes people always feel a little incongruous. That man was William Hughes, the captain of the guard brigade in charge of the security of the International Tower.

It has been less than half a year since William Hughes arrived at the helm of security in this prestigious international building. In the past six months, he has been very proud and has been very handy at work. For most of the day, Captain William Hughes stayed in the main control room on the basement floor, equipped with state-of-the-art high-tech surveillance facilities, controlling his security team of nearly 100 people, patrolling and supervising the security of each floor with sophisticated security equipment, and not missing a single detail is a well-known motto that he has been strictly adhering to since his career. Of course, he also has a team of engineers and technicians who sit in the small hall on the basement floor all day and keep an eye on the monitors, and are responsible for managing and coordinating the communication center that keeps him in touch with the guards on the other floors.

This morning, the International Building was so quiet that there wasn't even a team visiting. Seeing through the monitor that it was already raining heavily, it is estimated that even travelers who want to visit here will have to change the day. Everything in the building was so quiet and serene that Hughes was satisfied, and he could catch a glimpse of the Green Toad's football game on the flat panel monitor in his spare time. But just as he was drinking a cup of Guatemalan coffee and waiting for the rugby match to start, he received a phone call.

The guard on the other end of the internal intercom shouted eagerly, "Report: Someone has found a male corpse in the large conference hall on the fifth floor!" ”

How is this possible! Not kidding?! Suspiciously, he put down the walkie-talkie and walked to the nerve center of the security department's rows of computer surveillance facilities, and coincidentally, the Humpty Dumpty man sitting in charge of the monitor in the large conference hall on the fifth floor did not hear his footsteps, but was looking up with a super long yawn. By the time the little guy came to his senses, it was too late, and Hughes kicked him in the office rocking chair where he was sitting, and with the trembling cruising of the office rocking chair, Humpty Dumpty stumbled out, but fortunately the person next to him helped him, so he didn't fall to the ground.

At this time, William Hughes had no interest in and time to count his subordinates, and at this moment he was staring at the monitor, and the large conference hall, which was perfectly divided by the small grids on the monitor screen, was surprisingly quiet, without the slightest flaw. He shook the flexible wireless mouse, hoping that it was just a false alarm, but contrary to his wishes, as the mouse swung again and again, the front row of the monitor finally revealed its original shape, it stood crookedly in the corner of the screen, and it was very blurry. It turns out that this surveillance screen has been manipulated, and the use of high-tech blinding methods is accurate.

The rare tranquility in the International Building has been ruthlessly punctured. William Hughes rushed out of his resting place like an arrow off the string, followed by a few young players.

"Hey! The world is unpredictable! Old Tom is honorably retired, and he has not encountered anything in his twenty-three years in office, but I have unfortunately encountered it in only half a year in office. I wonder if my career has come to an end?! Hughes ran briskly as he looked at the shadow and felt sorry for himself.

They rushed to the large conference hall on the fifth floor as fast as they could. Hughes realized the magnitude of the problem as soon as he entered the chamber. He motioned for us to be silent, but walked slowly to our side, and then a strange male corpse crashed into his eyes without hindrance.

Although William Hughes didn't want to look at the dead body too much, his small green eyes kept looking at the male corpse, and at this moment he felt that the air in the hall seemed to be thinning. The skinny male corpse looked like a naked skeleton, but his smile was so exaggerated and active. You say he's dead, but his smile is so lifelike, but if you say he's alive, he's motionless in the same position. What a true living dead!!

He turned his head and took a deep breath.

"I'm William Hughes, captain of the guard brigade at the International Tower. You found this scene? ”

"Yes." I agreed, "My name is Xu Meng, and her name is Fanny." ”

"My name is Duru." Duru introduced himself beside him.

"Originally, we came to the International Building to listen to Mr. Lawrence's speech, but we probably got the wrong place, so we entered this conference hall by mistake, and only then did we witness the tragedy that was unfolding here." I continued.

"Did you see anyone else when you came in?"

I recalled, "No. When we arrived here, the doors of the conference hall were closed. When we pushed the door in, we found it empty, except for this man. ”

As we spoke, news of a dead man hiding in the conference hall on the fifth floor had already spread through the International Building. Some of the workers cleaning on this floor, as well as a few docents, gathered curiously to look at the entrance of the conference hall.

The guards of the International Building were not idle, they diverted the people who wanted to see what was going on to get away from the conference hall, and at the same time sent people to guard the three entrances to the oval hall, and even erected a sign at the entrance of the main entrance that said "Cleaning, please do not enter", and everything on the scene was in the best condition.

William Hughes, the captain of the guard brigade, was arranging a new task through the internal intercom, and while he ordered people to carefully examine the past images recorded in the monitor over the past week, he instructed his subordinates to further strengthen the operation and management of the monitor, and see if the running monitor still showed signs of being tampered with.

As soon as he finished talking over the intercom and put down the microphone, he saw a medium-sized man enter the oval hall, followed by a guard squad leader who was closely following, and his face was very respectful. His brain searched rapidly, where did this man seem to have seen it?! But where exactly?

Suddenly, he struck a spirit, and a half-length figure published on the cover of recent internal documents appeared in front of him······ That's him, Raymond, Director of the Security Agency!!

William Hughes's mind was spinning, and the Office of Security Services was as mysterious as the Bermuda Delta, and few people knew it existed. If it weren't for the fact that a few days ago there was a report in high-level literature honoring this department, even I, the captain of the guard brigade of the International Building, who held a high position, would not know much about this department. But why are they here now? And it's not small, it's still a hall-level boss! Could it be that there is something unusual about this case?!

While William Hughes was still thinking nervously, the Director of the Office of Security Affairs approached him.

"This is ······"
