Chapter 44: Tragic Expulsion
Nie Kai looked at the monkey with a serious face, and suddenly wanted to laugh.
It is really intentional to plant flowers that do not bloom, and unintentionally to plant willows and willows into the shade. A decrepit boy who was worried about whether he could pass the test yesterday, but today he was suddenly told that he was the only one who was shit, and Nie Kai felt that this turn was a little funny.
"The only one, why?" If he hadn't failed the test, if he hadn't stepped into this asylum by magic, who would have told him that he was the "one"?
Thinking so, Nie Kai already laughed.
"I know what you're laughing at. You must think that what I said is bullshit, and the reason why you are standing here today is just an accident. However, whether you have heard it or not, every accident is inevitable. The monkey said suddenly, his eyes looking directly at Nie Kai.
Nie Kai looked at the monkey in surprise, and suddenly couldn't laugh, as if a hand was pinching his neck.
"Is this inevitable?" Nie Kai suddenly flashed a trace of inexplicable fear in his mind. I don't know if I've read too many Cthulhu novels, but lately he's been feeling more and more like he's being grabbed by an invisible hand. The lingering nightmare, the demon sleeping in the depths of the sea. Why did the more he tried to escape from that unspeakable being, the closer he got to it?
Nie Kai looked at the monkey helplessly, and the monkey also looked at him, but there was eager anticipation in his eyes.
"Can you say something a little more reliable? Nie Kai said one last word, "After injecting this serum, what is the probability that I will survive?"
"3 into. The monkey said, looking directly into Nie Kai's eyes without changing his face.
"3 Cheng?" Nie Kai thought he had misheard.
"3 into chances. If you succeed, you can get unprecedented scenery, and in case of failure, we will send your mother a generous compensation. The monkey said lightly.
Nie Kai was stunned. He had expected ten thousand kinds of rhetoric, but he never imagined that the monkey would end up speaking such a cold truth. It was so cold that Nie Kai couldn't help but want to shiver.
"Your hometown is in a small remote county in Sichuan Province, and there is a mother at home who wants her son to become a dragon. Your father ran away seventeen years ago because of debts, and your mother sold all the family property to pay off the debt. For seventeen years, she has been looking forward to your early success and lead her to a happy life. However, after you entered the university, your studies were not very good, and in the end, you did not apply for the opportunity to study abroad, nor did you get a place in the graduate school. What's worse is that you ended up failing the graduate school entrance examination, and twice in a row. “
Nie Kai looked at the monkey in shock. "Why are you so clear about my affairs?"
The monkey ignored Nie Kai's surprise. "If I'm not mistaken, you and your mom had one last phone call. You didn't say a word. Because for some reason, your mother suddenly said, 'What are you doing here?' You. “
"That's enough! How the hell do you know?" Nie Kai had already rushed up and pressed the monkey's chest. The monkey coughed violently, and the medical staff next to him saw this and hurriedly pulled Nie Kai away.
"It's Liu Tianyi. The monkey said, panting.
"Liu Tianyi?" Nie Kai finally stopped struggling.
"Of course. It was originally Liu Tianyi's intention to recruit you into Youge, how could he be such a cautious person to recruit a person who didn't know the details to Youge. “
"Liu Tianyi has investigated my details?" Nie Kai had turned into a deflated ball. Liu Tianyi, Liu Tianyi again, Nie Kai suddenly had an inexplicable anger in his heart. Why does that arrogant guy always like to target himself?
"So, does the other person know?" Nie Kai thought of something and asked hesitantly.
"Others, do you mean the members of the second group?" the monkey licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, "I'm not sure about that. However, Mr. Yang must also know that as the leader of the group, he has the right to know the information of each member."
Nie Kai was completely speechless. So it was, so it was, no wonder those guys suddenly accompanied themselves to the test that morning, and even Song Xiaoxue, who had been wavering before, suddenly changed her mind. Now that I think about it, that night, Lao Yang must have told others about his situation. Nie Kai suddenly had a feeling of being deceived. It turns out that his so-called secret has become something that everyone knows.
"Well, injections? Rather than being a homeless loser, it might be better to gamble with your own life. In this way, even if you fail, your mother can receive a large amount of compensation and live a worry-free life. The monkey said seductively.
"Injection?" Nie Kai unconsciously took out the cold reagent. A beautiful cylinder, surrounded by smooth white gold, with only a section of dark glass near the top, through which you can faintly peek into the dark green liquid inside.
"Injection?" Nie Kai suddenly felt a hint of emotion.
The dark sea, the ineffable existence, the obscure language, the ancient totem, and countless indescribable images suddenly poured into Nie Kai's mind like a tide. Nie Kai felt a splitting headache.
"No!" Nie Kai couldn't help but scream, like a panicked beast.
The whole room fell silent, and all eyes were fixed on the poor creature on the brink of collapse.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm fine. Nie Kai hurriedly explained.
"Is this your final reply?" the monkey asked in disappointment, ignoring Nie Kai's embarrassment, "I thought you were the kind of guy who occasionally wanted to fight hard. ”
"I, I. Nie Kai looked at the monkey at a loss, "I don't know how to explain it, but I suddenly feel like I can't do it." ”
"I don't know why? He looked at Nie Kai like an idiot, and then suddenly coughed. He coughed so violently that every time he coughed, blood splattered from the corners of his mouth.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, monkey, you, don't get excited. Nie Kai hurriedly went up to help the monkey, "Or I'll return the serum to you." Didn't you say you had it for yourself?"
"No, that serum, you can keep it for yourself, after all, that's the old man's decision. The monkey pushed Nie Kai away, "Also, don't call me a monkey in the future." After all, monkeys are used to address small children. But now, I'm going to take up the burden left by the old man. So you either call me Director or call me by my name. My name is Shangguan He. ”
Nie Kai originally wanted to laugh, but when he heard the end, he couldn't laugh anymore. Because he found out that this crazy guy really changed a person in an instant.
"Director, then you asked me to come here, do you have any other instructions?" Nie Kai asked respectfully.
The monkey looked at Nie Kai, nodded, and shook his head again.
Nie Kai was speechless. "Excuse me, can you speak Chinese?"
"Alas, I originally wanted you to help Liu Tianyi deal with the invaders. But since you have refused the injection, then it is no longer your business in this matter. ”
"What? The intruder was caught, who did it?" Nie Kai exclaimed, the way those guys escaped was simply incredible, who could stop such a guy? Nie Kai felt that this was beyond his imagination.
"That's right, the power of space jumping is something we never knew about, and of course there is no way for us to intervene. But the fact is that I just received the news that those people have fallen into Liu Tianyi's encirclement. ”
"Liu Tianyi?" Nie Kai took a deep breath, it was Liu Tianyi again, why is this guy always pervasive?" "How did he do it?" Nie Kai asked in surprise.
The monkey shook his head gently. "Liu Tianyi's actions are not limited to anyone, no one knows what he is doing, and no one knows what he can do. He paused, "All I know is that Liu Tianyi has gathered all the current combat personnel of the academy and is ready to completely annihilate these invaders. ”
"Everyone?"
"Yes, everyone. And, of course, a few guys you're familiar with. ”
"You mean Song Xiaoxue. Nie Kai blurted out, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had said something inappropriate, and hurriedly added, "You mean that Song Xiaoxue and Mr. Yang have gone?"
"Well, what's the problem?" asked the monkey curiously.
"Uh," Nie Kai hesitated, "Then, since so many people have already gone, why do you still want me to go?"
"Because of the intruder's abilities, do you remember how the old man died?"
"I don't remember, no, I didn't see it, I was locked in a cupboard by him. When he woke up, he was dead. ”
"He's got a hole in his head, isn't it?" asked the monkey.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Nie Kai recalled the old man's death, only to feel trembling all over, and nodded hurriedly. "No," Nie Kaileng paused, "How do you know?"
"Look behind you. The monkey said coldly.
Nie Kai slowly turned his head away. In front of him, there was the lifeless corpse of the old man, bright red blood mixed with white brains, slowly flowing out of the hole in his head.
Nie Kai felt that the hairs on his body stood up. He wanted to exclaim, but the image in front of him suddenly flashed and disappeared.
"Display, display?" Nie Kai looked at the monkey, his face covered in cold sweat.
"Monitors, of course. Because this is the monitoring room. In fact, every corner of the basement, I can see here. The monkey ignored Nie Kai's fright, "Unfortunately, due to the power outage, I didn't see the picture of the old man being killed." However, the old man's death is really strange. The monkey turned on the monitor again, his eyes unblinking, looking at the old man lying in a pool of blood on the screen, "If he had been killed by a bullet, his head would have exploded like a watermelon, but his skull was intact." Moreover, the shape of the hole in his head does not look like a bullet. Even more strange was the fact that there were obvious burnt marks around his wounds, almost like laser scalpel cuts. ”
"You, what the hell do you want to say?" Nie Kai couldn't stand the images on the screen and the depictions of the monkeys, so he had to twist his head to the side and ask.
"I don't know. The intruder's abilities are so weird that the only thing I know for sure is that the middle-aged man can control the magnetic field, so it should be difficult for any metal to get close to him. The monkey paused and looked at Nie Kai, "Do you know what that means?"
"It means that all weapons, whether knives or bullets, are ineffective against him. Nie Kai said word by word, and in the end, his voice was so small that he couldn't even hear it clearly.
The monkey looked at Nie Kai's extremely shocked appearance and nodded with satisfaction.
"Then, aren't they very dangerous?" Nie Kai jumped up, "Why don't you tell them about such an important matter?"
"Do you think that with Liu Tianyi's character, he will be willing to listen to the command of a madman?" said the monkey helplessly, and actually laughed.
Nie Kai was completely desperate, and vaguely, he seemed to see the death of Song Xiaoxue and others.
"No, no, no, there must be a way!Tell me, tell me, what should I do?" Nie Kai pounced in front of the monkey, grabbed the monkey's hand, and said in a lost voice.
The monkey looked at Nie Kai's excited appearance and just smiled.
Nie Kai couldn't help but increase the force on his hand, and finally pinched the bandages on the monkey's hand to ooze blood, but the monkey still laughed, laughing so creepy that Nie Kai was terrified.
"Are you just watching your companion die?" Nie Kai finally let go of his hand and looked directly at the monkey roar.
"Strange, those are my companions, what does it have to do with you?" the monkey stopped laughing, "I said that since you refused the injection, then Yog has nothing to do with you. To put it simply, you have been fired from the beginning. This decision was unanimously passed by the dean and Liu Tianyi, as a mere project director, why should I, go against the will of the board of directors?" the monkey looked directly at Nie Kai and said coldly.
Nie Kai was stunned.
Yes, he was fired! If he refused to be injected, then he would be fired from Yog, a decision Liu Tian had already told him. However, he didn't expect this day to come so suddenly. It's as fast as a dream, and it comes to an end if you don't pay attention. Nie Kai reluctantly touched the devil's triangle badge on his chest, and suddenly there was a trace of remembrance.
This mental hospital full of madmen, this school full of neurotics, this place full of absurdity. But such a worthless place made him feel a sense of belonging that he had not felt for a long time. Nie Kai couldn't help but recall the fat man's delicious and lazy face, couldn't help but recall Lao Yang's humorous jokes, and recalled the warmth of the moment when he hugged Song Xiaoxue in Yangshan Port.
No, Song Xiaoxue and the others are in danger now! Nie Kai woke up suddenly.
"Tell me, where are they now?" Nie Kai grabbed the monkey's neck and roared hoarsely, the anger in his eyes as if he wanted to kill the monkey.
The monkey was really stopped by him, and he said tremblingly, "Yes, on the roof." ”
"On the roof?" Nie Kai repeated, pulling out his legs and running.
"Wait!" the monkey suddenly stopped him.
Nie Kai stopped, but didn't turn around. "What's the matter?"
"I'm glad you're willing to die for a group of irrelevant people. But you have to at least bring a weapon, don't you?" said the monkey, raising his voice, "Doctor Liu, give him what I asked you to prepare." ”
A tall, lanky doctor immediately walked in briskly from outside the room, holding a rectangular metal box in his hand. Nie Kaizheng was curious about what was inside, and the box had been opened, a pair of silver-white pistols.
Nie Kai looked at the monkey and felt a little surprised.
"I know your marksmanship is not bad, and these two guns are specially prepared for you by me. The M9 pistol in service in the United States, the original gun is 217 mm long, weighs 0.96 kg, and can fire 9 mm balabylum rounds. "But I got it a little bit modified, so now it's firing plastic bullets." ”
"Plastic bullets, why?"
Nie Kai turned around, stroked the gun in the box, and asked puzzled. When the fingertips swiped over the body of the gun, the cold touch made Nie Xingxing tense. A month ago, he would never have had the courage to pick up something so cold. However, so much has happened this month. In short, now, Nie Kai knew that he had to pick up this thing, and it would be his only reliance at the moment.
"Because of that guy who can control the magnetic field, have you forgotten what you said? Metal bullets are useless to him. So I have these two guns for you. I'm worried about how much range he has and how it compares to the pistol's range. ”
"What is the range of this gun?" Nie Kai asked.
"Originally, it was an effective range of 50 meters, but now, it is estimated that it is less than 40 meters. ”
"40 meters?" Nie Kai pondered.
"Actually, even if he has a maximum control range of less than 40 meters, you don't have many chances to hit him because he has a moving shield by his side. ”
"Shield?"
"That's right, a big man with a big knife on his back, his speed and strength are amazing, plus the big knife in his hand, the defense can be said to be impenetrable. So, unless you can separate them, I think it's going to be hard for you to hit that middle age. ”
Nie Kai was already a little weak-hearted.
"Anything else?" he asked, still pretending to be serious.
"It's gone. The monkey smiled intriguingly
Nie Kai glanced at the monkey, didn't speak again, grabbed the gun in the box, turned his head and rushed out of the dimly lit ward.
