Chapter 382: Conjecture

Paul looked inside from the door of the lab, and through the hidden door he could only see the feet of the corpses of the Twisted Ones inside, they were mutated, and the toes of the giant claws of the Soul Eater had pierced through the leather shoes and protruded. He looked back at the Ritter father and daughter, and saw that Samantha was very excited, and she was trying to look into the laboratory with her head sticking out, as if she was eager to go in and have a look. He hurriedly warned, "Samantha, you can't step into the laboratory until the professionals arrive. Otherwise, the scene will be destroyed and the detection work will be difficult. ”

Ritter was also looking into the lab at this time, and when he heard Paul's words, he grabbed Samantha's arm standing beside him in his hand to prevent her from breaking into the lab out of nowhere. Ritter turned his head and whispered to Paul, "Could it be the stealing hand of the people who came to spy on us just now?" The reason why Ritter asked this question was because the three of them had something special when they were conducting experiments in the morning.

This morning, after Yu Qianhua left, Paul asked the Ritter father and daughter to wait, he went into the safe to take out the operation module, put on the rack, and then walked out of the camp with the Ritter father and daughter. They flew all the way west into a nearby restricted area. The trio found an open spot near the edge of the penalty area, formed a formation, and began to test the operating module.

In fact, the test work is very boring. Ritter attaches each module to the airgun, Samantha is responsible for carrying the airball into the distance, while Paul constantly sends out mana to test whether the airsoft can be activated properly, and when the distance is reached, the mana will weaken to the point of losing its effectiveness. After testing one module, Ruiter will replace it with another module, and then continue to test, and so on.

The gun used in the test, like the gun on Paul's rack, fired live shells. Because it doesn't have to condense the aura bomb, its internal program is relatively simple, there is only one acceleration program, and even the operation program is loaded separately with modules. Therefore, there are very few internal force alloys used in it, only used on the chamber and barrel, and the other parts are ordinary metals. You don't see anything special about this gun from the outside, it's like an old-fashioned single-barrel shotgun.

Samantha was bored. She was also nominally on guard duty as she flew away with her gun. She flew round and round, trying to find some fun, but there was silence all around, not even a bird. As the test came to an end, Paul abruptly stopped releasing his manic power and stood there thoughtful. Ritter noticed Paul's anomaly, and he looked at Paul with a puzzled look, waiting for him to explain. Samantha didn't notice it, and was still flying into the distance with her gun in hand.

"I detected someone coming from a distance. They fly fast, at least more than four hundred miles. Forty or fifty kilometers away, they'll be there. Paul whispered.

"Can you tell how many of them are?" Ritter also asked in a very small voice.

"There are four goals. But I can't tell if it's a person or a thing. ”

"Do you want to call Samantha back first? Save ......"

"Oh no, there's something coming!" Before Paul could finish speaking, he drove the internal force into the rack. I saw a crackling sound everywhere in his rack, and the flap quickly lifted and contracted, and in an instant, more than two hundred muzzles stretched out, and the entire rack turned into a hideous steel monster. Twelve of the muzzles of the guns came out with a slight air explosion, and then twelve live bullets were fired. The bullets began to shrink and shrink rapidly less than a meter away from the muzzle, and by the time they were five meters away from the muzzle, they had become indistinguishable to the naked eye, becoming a small dot that appeared to be nothing.

The bullets were unimaginably fast, and they were discharged in less than a millisecond when they met their target five kilometers away in the southwest direction, and immediately burst into the air with several flashes of light. Samantha was less than two kilometers away, and she saw a metallic leaf-like object twisted and deformed in the air by bullets, and it struggled to get back to its original shape, but the successive impacts made it difficult to parry. By the time all twelve rounds were over, it had fallen from the air in pieces, directly behind a hillside.

Samantha flapped her wings and was about to pick up the loot when she suddenly heard a warning from Ritter's market: "Don't go over, be careful." ”。 Samantha was stunned when she heard this, and then she saw the metal object rise from behind the hillside with great difficulty, and it twisted its body, and before it could turn into a leaf again, it hurried back to the road from which it came. Samantha instinctively raised her gun to shoot, but couldn't find the trigger. Only then did she remember that the gun was controlled by an operating module. She hurriedly drew the spear she was carrying cross-body at her waist, but by this time the thing was already flying away. Reluctantly, she looked in the direction it had left, turned around and flew back.

When she returned to Paul and Ritter, she heard Paul say, "They have stopped going. ”

Samantha hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "That thing is very similar to the legendary ......"

"It should be Zhang Daochang's flying sword. I guess those people should be Daoist Zhang and his followers from Neverland. Shall we go over and meet them for a while? Ritter said. His last sentence was asking for Paul's opinion.

Paul shook his head and said, "No. Looks like I scared them just now. They have turned around and returned. ”

"What do you think they're here for?"

Paul sneered and said, "It must be for the technology of the remote control spirit gun." Before that gun appeared, Daoist Zhang's flying sword was the only talisman on the earth, and now that a second talisman has appeared, can he not be nervous? Hum! It seems likely that I have a Neverland spy on my team, or at least a member of the Neverland Support Group. Otherwise, Daoist Zhang, they wouldn't have known the whereabouts of Qu Zhiliu so quickly. And they really didn't have anyone in their eyes, they didn't even say hello in advance, and just came straight to the door. ”

"You're saying he's coming for the flow of songs?" Ritter asked.

"It should be. If he was only interested in guns, he could have gone directly to Yu Qianhua a few days ago. But after he finished talking to Guo Songshan, he left quickly. This shows that he is not interested in the gun itself, he is only interested in the person who makes the gun......" Paul was saying when he suddenly stopped, and as he reached out and turned on a switch on the side of his helmet, he said, "Someone calls me in the game, I'll answer." With that, he entered the game.

Because the speed of time between the real world and the game world is so different, in Ritter's eyes, Paul quits the game almost instantly.

"Something's wrong! Qu Zhiliu is dead. The remaining modules are not tested, and the remaining test items are also put away, and we must rush back. When Paul had finished speaking, he began to put away the things he had brought. Ritter and Samantha also hurriedly helped. The three of them packed up their belongings, then each urged the frame and flew back to the camp. After the three arrived at the scene, they first briefly listened to the guards introduce the situation.

Paul understood what Ritter meant. Daoist Zhang and several people originally came for Qu Zhiliu. And the ultimate purpose of their coming was to take measures to maintain the leading position of Daoist Zhang's flying sword. So what is the most effective? It must be the most effective to directly kill the flow of songs.

But Paul still shook his head and said, "It's not likely." My detection power can accurately cover nearly 100 square kilometers around the camp, unless they can use the invisible charm from dozens of kilometers away to accurately infiltrate the camp and enter the laboratory to kill Qu and the others. Let's not talk about the technical difficulty, just say that if Daoist Zhang had such a powerful weapon, he wouldn't have used a flying sword to test us just now. So I don't think this matter has anything to do with Daoist Zhang. ”

At this time, they saw the staff officer walking over from a distance with Yu Qianhua, Sha Ping, and House. So Paul stepped forward and reintroduced what he had just heard to the three newcomers. Near noon, the guards were thinking of the lab to inform Qu Zhiliu that it was time for lunch. But no matter how much he knocked on the door, there was no answer. So he opened the door and entered the laboratory with the spare key he had with him, only to find that Qu Zhiliu had collapsed on the floor of the laboratory. He stepped forward to take a brief look, and after determining that Qu Zhiliu was dead, he retreated. Now the site is quite well protected, and no one has entered the laboratory except this guard.

After listening to the introduction, Sha Ping and House called the guard to verify it again, and asked for some details. Then the two put on their own isolation gears and entered the laboratory together to conduct on-site inspections.

After Paul finished introducing the situation, he stopped paying attention to the two detectives and turned his attention to Yu Qianhua. He smiled and said, "I want to ask Miss Yu for forgiveness first." Please don't mind my next question. Because you are the only one in this camp who has such a great grudge, I must ask you about your whereabouts this morning. ”

Yu Qianhua also smiled and said, "I can completely understand. After all, my motive for committing the crime is the greatest here. After I left your office in the morning, I went straight back to my dorm. And I talked to Mr. Sha Ping all morning under the noses of the two guards, never leaving their sight. You can check with them. ”

"Oh, okay. Thank you for your cooperation. ”

"It should. I'm curious, what would you do with me if I didn't have an alibi? ”

Paul raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I'm afraid I won't be able to let you go tomorrow." I don't want to comment on the grievances between you and Qu Zhiliu, and I don't think you can't kill him, after all, he wants to kill you first. But you also know that Qu Zhiliu was working on a drug to resist the anomaly for those in the Force Alliance, but now that the drug has not been developed, he is dead. Then I'm going to have a hard time calming the emotions of those mutants. I can only detain you first. If you want to leave, you can leave, unless you call Mr. Lang and ask him to help solve the problem of anomalous mutations, and I will let you go. ”

Yu Qianhua changed from a smile to a laugh. "You don't even have to make that excuse! You can also detain me now and force Lao Lang here. ”

Paul kept smiling, shook his head, and said, "You still don't believe me." I'm not the kind of person who has no principles and only talks about interests. As long as the two detectives prove that you have nothing to do with the death of the Song and the others, even if the people of the Force Alliance are not satisfied, I will release you tomorrow as promised. ”
