Chapter 10: The Object of Battle
"So it's true, it really didn't eat those people."
In the DEO's secret underground base, in a solitary lab, Director Henshaw sat by while Dr. Lefright buried his head in front of a microscope, analyzing Director Henshaw's account.
"Well, according to the testimony of the eyewitness guards, the greenish bat was more likely to target the insect people on the man-eating side than to feed on them, and it seems that he saved the life of one of them."
Heng Xiao's face was still complicated, but he still recounted the testimony of the witnesses without humility or arrogance, as if when the other party appeared at the beginning, it was not that kind of posture, although he couldn't see what it looked like, but his body was very close to a human being.
"What do you think? A social vigilante like Superman? ”
Dr. Lefwright asks this question, and in his opinion, this alien act of vigilanting is more like eyeballs, in exchange for more compassion and recognition, and thus in exchange for the spare time of life among humans.
Although it is a very popular method, it is not impossible, but the road is very rugged, just like the superman in his mouth, how long has it been to work hard to get the current recognition.
But Henshaw denied this, saying:
"I don't think so, the other party is more like a mercenary, that is, you pay for it, I help you settle it, although I don't know who the mercenary is, but the other party seems to know a lot about this kind of cannibalistic existence and has some experience, it should be specialized."
"The evidence is that the other party unceremoniously killed the so-called insect man, leaving no trace at all, and wiped out the corpse completely, the professionalism and mentality have been exercised quite resolutely, you are looking at it now, or the ashes that I asked someone to collect, I don't know if it will help at all."
"No, not to mention the cells, the molecular structure has lost its original appearance, and it is simply doing things without leaving traces."
Dr. Leflet gave up looking at the ashes under the microscope because the other party's methods were too heavy, and it would be nice to say if there were the original cell tissue, but this ash would not work at all.
"Do you have any footage?"
Turning his head, he asked if there were any relevant video materials, and if it was a university, there should be a lot of cameras to capture it.
"That's the most troublesome problem, we can't find a single image, the surveillance footage of the whole school is as if it has been washed, and for two hours centered on the time of the incident, there is no video record at all, not even a backup record."
Heng Xiao said with some regret, but the other party did it so thoroughly, he couldn't help it.
"What about the cameras? They shouldn't have been baptized, right? ”
Since you can't get information and information about cannibalistic creatures, you might be able to study the other party's information.
"Not really, you see."
He handed a terminal to Dr. Lefwright, opened it, and was immediately attracted by the peculiar hard exterior.
"I haven't seen it... Doesn't it appear in our database? ”
Dr. Lewright said that he had never seen such a creature, and it should be said that such a special creature form seemed to be artificially designed, as well as the technological structure on the waist, which looked very simple, but it seemed to be connected to the body of this living form, and it was likely to be connected to the physiological structure of this living form, resulting in such a hard body.
If this is true, this could be a new bio-linked technology that, in terms of value, may help humanity achieve new developments in medical technology and in all aspects.
"No, there is no relevant information on this aspect, for the time being, it can only be called Life Form X, if you can get bodily fluids and other things, maybe you can know more."
Henshaw is also quite frustrated, why this sudden appearance of unconfirmed 0 and lifeform X are actually the existence that DEO has never landed, so it is difficult to formulate a plan.
"But judging from the image, the other party's body can produce very strong heat energy, and the degree is likely to be able to easily dissolve reinforced concrete, and it is very bad with you in terms of phase properties, so you can consider freezing it with liquid nitrogen."
Saying something that was somewhat unclear, Dr. Leflet proposed a plan, even though it was a bit cumbersome to implement.
"I think it's better to figure out why it knows my true identity than to deal with it."
"That's right."
Both men were a little uneasy about this, this was Dr. Livelytt's independent laboratory, and it was only here that the two of them could talk to each other on the wall, after all, they were both unusually similar in terms of situation.
"Could it be a special ability to track enemies?"
Dr. Lefwright hypothesized that there was basically no other way to discern his appearance other than Henshaw's companions, and that the rest was probably similar to his special sensory tracking and analysis abilities.
"It's hard to say, the other party seems to know my identity all along, he is not surprised by my true identity at all, more interested and profitable, but it is not like blackmail, he doesn't know what the intention is."
When Henshaw said this, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill, this kind of inexplicable purpose exists, to some extent, it is the most dangerous.
"But it didn't reveal your identity, maybe it was empathy, and the guard also said that he looked very close to a human at the beginning, maybe he was a 'refugee' like us, so I don't want to embarrass you."
Dr. Lefwright made this assumption, and he also had a deep understanding of empathy, because he had an adopted son who had been adopted because of empathy.
"Maybe." Heng Xiao nodded, and then said, "But the other party's target of action, it doesn't seem to want us to get close, or even let us get involved in this matter, but this is impossible. ”
"That's right, the higher authorities won't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, especially since there has been more than one victim, and it is impossible for us to give up because of an unknown existence."
Leflet was a little uncomfortable to say this fact, they are also an official organization anyway, if they just be threatened and stopped, then their whole country will not have to be mixed.
At the very least, they will never give up.
Whether it's the strange insect man or the bat monster, they're all the ones to be knocked down and defeated.
.........................................................................
Small mountainous area, somewhere underground
"It's... There were originally a lot of homeless people in these places, but now the number is pitiful, and they should all be eaten..."
Xingle was alone in the dark facing a computer, looking at the data on it, his face was very bad, so many people died under his nose, this...
“... Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest... Will you eat it? ”
Xingle thought about it himself, and at the same time did not forget to put two dots on the map of Naxino City on his computer screen, there are not many suburbs of Naxino City, and if you exclude the secret department of DEO and his own underground stronghold, there are only two places where 'it' can be hidden.
At this time, a pop-up window popped up on this computer screen, and there was a regular reminder on it, after all, it was already half past five in the morning.
"Ahh I have to go back quickly, and it will be troublesome for Sister Sarah to know that I am not there. ”
Seeing the urgency of time, Xingle quickly turned off the computer, and at the same time did not forget to copy the information on the computer, and when Sister Sarah and the adoptive parents were done, Xingle still had time to find the other party's mother.
Just left this darkness and walked out of this stronghold.
Step by step, Xingle walked on this mountain road, it looked quite easy, but this place only had stones and dust, and there was no grass or trees, so it was still very rugged to walk.
But Xingle walked very easily, and even a little freehand, it seems that he has not taken this kind of road less, he should have taken the habit and played tricks.
Walking out of this mountainous area, Xingle probably spent more than 30 minutes, and then ran to the city for more than 10 minutes, and then returned home.
Gently pressed the doorknob, peeked through the crack in the small open door, and after confirming that Sister Sarah hadn't woken up yet, Xingle crept in again, if Sister Sarah knew that she had secretly walked out, don't think about it, don't think about it today, don't think about it again.
Sneaking into his room unconsciously, Xingle hurriedly rearranged his clothes, dressed himself up as if he was sleeping at home, and didn't forget to hurry into the bed to warm up the bed, these really can't go wrong.
As for dark circles... Who hasn't tried staying up late or having insomnia these days?
After sleeping for a while, Xingle finally ushered in the expected sound of the door opening, not from his room, but the room opposite his door, that is, Sister Sarah woke up.
Of course, he can't wake up now, Xingle left last night when his sister fell asleep, how could he wake up so early.
After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, Xingle heard another sound of opening the door through the door, and the sound and volume were probably the door of his own entrance.
Did your adoptive father and adoptive mother come back too? Xingle made a hunch and didn't feel anything bad, it shouldn't be someone else.
Xingle got up at this time, anyway, after falling asleep, his spirit was replenished enough, and he should not be able to see it if he acted in his true colors with sleepy eyes.
Put on his slippers, walk out of the room in pajamas, and go downstairs, Xingle saw his sister, who was also awake, and a couple gathering in the dining room.
The man was Dr. Lefwright, who had changed into a work suit, Brian. Livelytt, the woman, has the same long silver hair as her husband and daughter, but unlike Sarah who is scattered behind her, she is tied into a loose ponytail and hangs low in front of her, and for some reason, Xingle has always heard that this hairstyle is dangerous.
"Dad, Mom, you're back."
Xingle rubbed his eyes, and greeted his adoptive father and adoptive mother with a little sense of getting up.
The couple looked at each other and smiled, and then said with a smile to their adopted son, Xingle, who had become a family:
"Well, Mom and Dad are back, son."
"Wait, can't you say hello to my sister again?!"
Sarah saw that her brother didn't greet her first, and she became jealous.
The daily life of this family began in this stormy city of Naxino......
