Chapter II: Hidden Dangers (2)
The tender white quietly flipped through the dossier, page after page, and finally stopped in the back position, and a pair of eyes ignored the interference of the dark element, and landed on the photograph at the top of the right page.
In the background of the photograph is an extravagantly decorated bedroom, Yichen is lying on a large soft bed, covered by a white quilt, but the exposed hands, neck and head are shocking.
That's right, Yichen in the photo is two years ago, no, it should be said that it was three years ago, and the photo is exactly what Yichen looked like when he got that strange illness three years ago.
The gray-green skin makes Yichen in the photo look like he has been poisoned, and the change in skin color has affected his handsome appearance.
"You're still ...... appeared. "Neutral voices make it difficult to distinguish between men and women, and if you don't have any emotion, it gives people a sense of inscrutable.
His gaze lingered on the picture for a long time, and the man in the dark continued to look through the dossier.
Only turned one page, and the tender white stopped again, looking at the objects in the photo, the person in the dark was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes produced a series of complex changes, and finally, he appeared in a contradictory state that seemed to be relaxed and depressed: "You really don't have ...... Let me down. ”
Pulling away the photo, flipping back to the previous page and pulling the top photo, he gently put the file back on the shelf, where it had been.
Turning, he slowly walked into the deep darkness, and at the same time, the files, bookshelves, floors, walls, and ceilings, the entire archive room, the strange images would make people feel terrified even if they happened in the darkness.
"Don't go in! Beware of the power of drain! "Qina, who appeared in time, grabbed the captain of the Pearlstar team who was about to rush into the darkness.
"Captain Davis." Seeing Qina, the captain immediately said respectfully, "There are already three detection robots inside, and once they enter it, they won't receive any signals at all." ”
As he spoke, the tall young man glanced at the darkness blocking the corner of the hallway.
"Then you don't have to rely on robots that can only act on signals." Luo Cheng, who was dressed in a silver-white combat uniform, walked over.
Behind him, the Haoyue team member carried a black detection robot, and the black data wire extended to the arm of another Haoyue team member, wrapped around it dozens of times, and finally extended from his arm to the remote control held by the last Haoyue team member.
"At this time, it is much more reliable to control the robot with a solid wire than by radio." Luo Cheng said in a deep voice, although the situation was a little grim, he could still hear a little smugness from his words.
"You can't see anything in the dark." Qina glanced faintly at this guy who had been "planning for a long time" for herself.
"You don't need to look at it, according to the speed of the machine, combined with the map inside and outside the archives, you can accurately judge the location." Luo Cheng glanced at Qi Na twice, and couldn't help but look at it twice.
"I can't see it, what is the machine doing in there?" Qina glared at the guy, as if trying to force his slightly lustful gaze back.
And Luo Cheng, who listened to Qina's words, was obviously stunned, obviously, he was stopped by this question that was not profound but to the point.
"What nonsense are you two talking about?" A serious voice came from behind, and Andre, who was "surrounded" by heavily armed members of the Order Department, pushed away his protectors and walked straight over.
"It's dangerous here." Seeing Andre, Qina's eyebrows furrowed.
"That's it, why are you here?" Luo Cheng also said.
Although the two of them behaved aggressively, they were always on guard against the darkness not far ahead, and beside the two of them, they were also heavily armed subordinates, and the muzzles of Sen Leng's guns were aimed at the darkness, and they could spray fire snakes at any time.
"I'm the head of the order department!" Andre glanced at the two of them coldly, and pulled them behind him with both hands, one left and one right, but the corners of his mouth were vaguely a little more indescribable arc.
"That's what you're looking at so far." Without waiting for Andre to ask, Qina said, leaning against the slightly cold wall with her hands on her chest.
"The Dark Lord has invaded the Archives?" Andrei frowned.
Qina nodded expressionlessly, to be precise, she didn't know what she was supposed to show right now, scared? Or is it fear?
If Yichen is here, he will definitely admire Qina so much, and he can be so calm in front of death, eldest sister, you are really not afraid of death!
Sure enough, there are still normal people, no, they should be sane but abnormal people.
"Everybody out of the archives! Immediately! Shouting, Andre turned around and pushed Qina and Luo Cheng to go out.
"What are you doing!" Qina was startled by Andrei's sudden yelling.
"What the hell! There's the Dark King's Palace! Do you all want to die! "Andre is so angry that he doesn't look like he used to be a coward?? Shape.
However, in the face of Andre's roar, not only did Qina not have the slightest fear, but a strong interest appeared in her eyes, and the scarlet little tongue licked the corners of her lips: "I know." ”
"You're crazy!" Andrei shouted.
"Is there anyone in the Ministry of Orders who isn't crazy?" Qina asked rhetorically.
Looking at Qina, Andre was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Luo Cheng and the others, and after glancing, he suddenly found that everyone here showed excitement except for him.
The passionate atmosphere created by the excitement even infected him, and blood gradually flowed in his body.
Damn, it's the side effects of the Ares fruit and the sap enhancer, all of them have become a bunch of crazy people! Andrei scolded in his heart.
Now, it's not just Yichen who treats these guys as fools, if Mo Kaize and Chen Yuetong are also here, they will definitely have the same idea as Yichen.
In the face of a terrible enemy, there is still the mood and time to gossip? I am afraid that I am not thinking of myself as God, thinking that I have transcended reincarnation and obtained eternal life.
Just as Andre was about to forcibly blast these almost demonic subordinates out, the darkness around the corner, like the ebbing tide of the sea, began to slowly fade.
"Alert!" Qina instantly passed by Andre's side, grabbed the gun in the hand of one of the Pearls, and rushed to the front line.
Luo Cheng didn't lag behind Qina too much, almost as soon as Qina passed through Andre's side, he appeared on Andrei's other side, his speed was not slow, and his steps were bigger than Qina's.
Andre, who has rarely used his hands since he became the head of the order department, has obviously dropped a lot in physique, and was almost unbalanced by the two of them, one left and one right, and fell to the ground.
Andre, who also found the abnormality in the corner, turned pale, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only write down these two guys who made him lose face in the small book he hated in his heart.
Every time the darkness took a step back, the people of the Ling Xing Department, led by Qi Na and Luo Cheng, took a step forward, and kept a distance of fifteen meters from them at all times.
And Andre had already been pushed to the back by Qina in the name of "protection supervisor".
Knowing how much Andrei's majesty had an impact on everyone's hearts, in order to prevent this lucky temporary command from being thrown out too soon, Qina ordered everyone behind her to press forward and shorten the distance from the darkness.
Charged by countless cold muzzles, the darkness of "fear" finally faded, and the sunlight shone into the hallway again, warming the cold floors and walls.
However, in the middle of the corridor that ushered in light, where there had been a closed door, a huge hole appeared, the edge of the hole was extremely irregular, and the section was as smooth as a knife.
A bad feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, and Andrei, who had squeezed into front of the crowd with cold eyes and a serious expression, looked into the cave.
It's a good archive room, but at this moment, the archive room is only a big empty house, the bookshelves are long gone, there is not a single file in the huge space, and the empty archive room is extremely empty.
Not only that, but the floor and wall tiles are also gone, revealing a black reinforcement layer filled with special materials, but even the reinforcement layer has become much thinner, and when you walk into the archives, you can clearly feel that the ground has become shorter, and as for the walls, they will naturally not be as thick as before.
"All Archives...... It's all gone. Despite his mental preparation, Luo Cheng still couldn't believe that the Dark King had actually ransacked the club's vital archives!
Qina squatted down, looked at the black reinforcement layer, and reached back, and a member of the Zhuxing team behind immediately reached for his waist, took out an instrument similar to a flashlight, and handed it over.
After some probing, looking at the values displayed on the instrument, Qina said with a solemn expression: "The thickness of the reinforcement layer has been reduced by 85%. ”
"I thought I was feeling wrong, but I didn't expect it to be thinner than I expected." Luo Cheng stomped his foot, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn guy." ”
From the moment he stepped on the reinforcement layer, he found that the ground had become too much shorter, and the thickness of the reinforcement layer was estimated to be reduced by at least 70%, and he thought that he had thought that the result was very bad, but he did not want the result to be worse than he thought.
"It seems that we all thought of him too simply." Andre's eyes were a little gloomy, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he was talking about the Dark Palace, "The power of loss is far more terrible than we imagined. ”
The drained power was not only aimed at life force, but also other energies, which greatly surprised him and made him feel extremely heavy.
Qi Na and Luo Cheng nodded in unison, in a way, the power of the power of loss was more terrifying than the power of annihilation.
If the power of annihilation is the simple destruction of everything into nothingness, then the power of loss feels like a kind of deprivation to them, the dark element is the deprivation of perception, and the power of annihilation is the deprivation of the nature of energy.
This is like beheading and Ling Chi, both of which are death, but they are two completely different ways, the same end, and the fear that the latter brings to people is something that the former can never achieve.
"But that guy is merciful, if he goes on a killing spree here, I'm afraid the club will be in big trouble." Luo Cheng said in a happy tone.
"It's not compassion, it's disdain, he doesn't see us as an obstacle, it's always like that, it's a sign of conceit." Andre's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said sharply.
Do giants shoot at ants? Is an enemy who doesn't even have a threat still an enemy? I'm afraid there is only a little bit of provocation qualifications.
"Chen Yuetong is right, there are internal ghosts in the club, and today's actions completely prove the existence of this internal ghost." Qina got up and threw the instrument to her men behind her.
"Not necessarily, with the strength of the Dark King Palace, it is not difficult to enter here without being noticed-" Halfway through speaking, Luo Cheng, who found the problem, stopped.
The Archives were an inconspicuous building, inconspicuous in the valley, but the Dark King's Hall was able to find it so accurately, and point directly to the most important archives, there was no doubt that from the very beginning, he knew where he was targeting.
Obviously, someone has sent a message to the Dark Palace, or that the Dark King is a ghost himself!
Thinking of this possibility, Luo Cheng himself was taken aback, if the inner ghost was the Dark King Hall himself, then the club's current situation would be very dangerous.
"Do you want to apply for a thorough investigation warrant from Ming Xuan?" Qina asked.
A thorough investigation warrant is a very strict investigation order, and the subjects of the investigation include everyone in the club, even Ming Xuan, the internal investigation team, and the directors and tower owners, all of whom must be put on the investigation list.
"It's necessary." Luo Cheng nodded.
Andrei shook his head: "There will be no result, that guy must be very hidden, and even if he finds out, what if he finds out?" He'd ransacked the archives, and he knew what he should know and what he shouldn't. Or is it ...... Are you sure you can keep him? ”
In fact, things were not as Andre and the others thought, after getting what they wanted, the Dark King destroyed all the files in the archives, and this was just his casual doing.
The Dark King's Hall is arrogant, so arrogant that it doesn't even have the heart to glance at the other files. If it weren't for the special circumstances, he would have left the rookie long ago because he was disgusted with the identity of the inner ghost.
Although darkness sometimes means "sneaky", he, the Dark King, would rather die head-on at the hands of his enemies than do such sneaky things behind his back.
Because of this, he invaded the archives in the light as the Dark King's Palace.
Of course, there is also an important and unavoidable reason, he does not want to reveal his identity yet.
He had to pick a suitable time, and now, not yet.
"Since it's an inner ghost, it shouldn't be difficult for the Dark King Hall to know something, so there's no need to go through such a big effort." A Pearls squad leader said.
"This method seems to be a lot of effort and blatant, but it does not reveal the identity of his inner ghost, and with his status in the club, it is very likely that he does not have the permission to know the information here." Luo Cheng touched the black reinforcement layer and said.
"There may be that permission, but he doesn't want to leave a trail on the network." Qina's eyes flashed, not letting go of any possibility.
If the reason for the investigation is not analyzed, the investigation file will be marked in red, become suspicious behavior, and be secretly inspected by the internal investigation team.
"Don't talk about fingerprints in this kind of scene, even if you can't keep a single hair strand of hair, it's unrealistic to find that guy through DNA." Luo Cheng shook his head and sighed.
After being silent for nearly half a minute, Andre turned his head and walked out of the archive room, walking towards the outside of the building, and the voice of joy and anger echoed in the corridor and passed into the archives: "From today on, all gold-level archives will be moved underground, and they will be implemented immediately, and the expenses will be reimbursed by the brick warehouse." ”
Luo Cheng ran out of the archives and shouted at the figure who walked away, "But Lord Brunny-"
"If he opposes me, I'll beat him!" A calm voice responded.
Luo Cheng shrunk his neck, knowing that Andre was really angry, and he didn't blame him, no one has been in a bad mood recently, and in just a few months, the line has changed too much - the death toll has increased dramatically.
The last time there was a spike in casualties was 40 years ago, and now, with the repetition of tragic scenes as one royal statue after another escaped, the rookie club is facing a formidable challenge.
And it all seems to start from the moment a guy who is not thick becomes the Lord of Darkness.
