02:54 local time in Athens.

There are 16 hours, 50 minutes and 19 seconds left in the countdown timer of Han Jiji's life in Taiji Dragon Academy.

Cheng Mo dressed up as a middle-aged man, changed into shabby clothes, and entered the slums of Omonoia from Aristotle Road with a truck cap, and Bai Xiuxiu, who was not wearing a shielding ring, turned on the time rift skill and followed Cheng Mo.

The entire 300,000-square-meter slum is not marked in any detail on Google Maps, except for an Aristotelian road. There is not even any detail in Ouyu's MARS software, and you can only see that this piece is painted orange on the map, indicating a high danger level.

Cheng Mo walked deeper into Aristotle Road in the shadows of the low buildings, where there were few street lights, and could only be discerned by the faint moonlight and the occasional light leaking out of the room. Compared to the red light district at the beginning of Aristotle Road, it is not only old, but dilapidated, dirty, foul-smelling, with sewage deposited everywhere, and all kinds of garbage thrown on both sides of the street, not to mention driving, only the middle part can walk.

The houses on both sides were also unruly, black felt canopies stretched everywhere, and all kinds of tattered clothes hung from the horizontal poles. But what's interesting is that it has reached the realm of "never closing the door at night", every household basically has no serious doors and windows, some are separated by cardboard, some are hung curtains, some are posters, and even some houses don't even have doors and windows, Cheng Mo can see six or seven people sleeping on the ground in a small room of more than ten square meters.

There are many people who sleep on the side of the street, some are wrapped in patches and sleep under the eaves, and some can't grab a good place for the eaves, so they build a shed with umbrellas, tin sheets or foam boards on the corner of the street, and the messy illegal buildings can be seen everywhere, making the road seem crooked.

Compared to the brightly lit area not far away, there is an air of desperation here.

Seeing that there were still many children sleeping on wooden beds made of bricks under the eaves, Bai Xiuxiu felt pity, and looked at those Middle Eastern children with a simple face who had good dreams, and suddenly said out on Cheng Mo's side: "It's so pitiful." I've been to the slums of Brazil and I don't feel like it's in such a bad condition....."

Cheng Mo just glanced at it, and said lightly: "You think all this is very bad, and you have fallen into a cognitive trap, that is, the cognitive path of using physical form as a social structure, in fact, in terms of happiness, they are not lower than ordinary people." ”

"Really?" Despite being invisible, Bai Xiuxiu carefully chose a place to stay and walked forward slowly. In contrast, Cheng Mo walked much more unscrupulously, even if there was sewage in front of him, he didn't have much scruples, like a real vagabond.

Cheng Mo whispered: "The reporter named Papani Kolau said that he once lived here disguised as a homeless man for two weeks, took a lot of wonderful photos, posted them on the Internet, caused a lot of discussions, and was disgusted by the Athens police." But it's not as bad as it looks like in the photos, it looks like it's a poverty, violence, pornography, a mix of refugees, temporary workers, the unemployed, the homeless, fraudsters, runaway women, gangsters, bankrupts..... But in fact, the vast majority of people here are normal working people, but they are doing low-end jobs that Greeks don't want to do..... There is also normal order here, there are shops and restaurants, the prices are frighteningly low, and the water and electricity are also provided by the government for free, although it is only provided for twelve hours a day, but there is no problem with basic life..... But as a journalist, of course, you only show the people what they want to see. ”

"No wonder Deputy Sergeant Kaminis didn't like that reporter. After a pause, Bai Xiuxiu changed her words, looked at a towering building not far away and asked softly, "Where is our goal?"

Although Cheng Mo couldn't see Bai Xiuxiu's movements, he also looked at the only towering building in the entire dark slum with tacit understanding, although this fifty-nine-story skyscraper was immersed in darkness, it was difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye, but for Cheng Mo and Bai Xiuxiu, it was like a giant tower suddenly rising from the ground in a flat field, especially on the side of the building, there was a dilapidated Ferris wheel, although the Ferris wheel was not high, but it was particularly abrupt with the appearance of a skyscraper here.

Cheng Mo nodded and said, "Yes, it's this unfinished building." ”

"It's inexplicable that there's a Ferris wheel here. Bai Xiuxiu's tone was full of questions.

Cheng Mo explained: "According to Papani Culau, Greece had just joined the eurozone in 01, and the Greek economy at that time could be called 'take-off' in Europa, and the economic growth rate ranked second in the eurozone after Ireland, much higher than that of Germany and France, but in fact, this economic growth was just killing the chicken, because Goldman Sachs designed a set for Greece." Currency swap trading method', you should know that the Greek crisis is from this, Greece borrowed heavily, not only to give benefits to the people, but also put forward a plan to transform the slum Omonoia, so the building was repaired, and the entire Omonoia was planned to be transformed into a high-end commercial area, at that time the situation of Omonoia was not so bad, but after the outbreak of the crisis in 09, not only did it not become a high-end business district, this commercial building also became an unfinished building, after the outbreak of ALB Spring in the Middle East in 2010, a large number of refugees were smuggled from Turkey and gathered in Omonoia, where prices were lower, slowly turning this slum into a slum. ”

"Goldman Sachs is paying the price for the evil it once did...... Rumor has it that Stargate does not intend for someone from the Goldman Sachs family to succeed David Solomon as the god general. At this time, the two had already walked not far from the skyscraper, Bai Xiuxiu stopped and asked quietly, "You can also go in?"

Cheng Mo also stopped and replied softly: "I can't go in directly, I can't startle the snake, in fact, Papani Cullau also tried to enter this building, the first time he was driven away, the second time he sneaked in late at night, was knocked unconscious with a stick, and the next day he was thrown on the side of Aristotle's road, and the other party also left a note on him, warning him to stay away from here, if he went in again, he would not take into account his identity as a reporter and kill him directly..... So he guessed that Beret was hiding here....."

"Then I'll go check in and see what the situation is and we're deciding. ”

"Okay. Cheng Mo turned his head to look around, and found that the side near the building was very clean, not only there were no homeless, but there was no garbage, and there was still garbage everywhere across the low cement piles, and sewage flowed sideways, as if there was an invisible boundary separating the building from the entire slum. There are also a lot fewer refugees sleeping here, Cheng Mo casually pointed to the corridor where a few refugees were lying and said, "I'm waiting for you there, you can send me a message if there is any situation...."

"Good. Bai Xiuxiu's erratic subtle voice appeared in the direction of a little in front of Cheng Mo.

"Pay attention to your blue. Cheng Mo reminded.

Bai Xiuxiu chuckled lightly and said softly: "I don't need you to remind me of this, you just protect yourself and don't expose it." ”

Cheng Mo didn't say much, and walked towards the corridor where a few refugees and homeless people were lying, some of them were covered with newspapers, some were covered with plastic film, and some were covered with paper shells, and the group of people still slept very sweetly in the stinking environment, and the slight snoring sound flowed in the quiet stench.

Cheng Mo regretted that he didn't turn off the olfactory system before putting on the shielding ring, but there was no point in regretting it now, he entered the corridor, stepped on the gap between the sleeping refugees, quietly stole a few newspapers from several sleeping refugees, found a corner where the skyscraper could be observed, and curled up. He stared at the skyscraper like a giant black tower in the darkness, trying to observe Bai Xiuxiu's whereabouts in the open area.

However, even if he knew Bai Xiuxiu's approximate direction of travel, Cheng Mo still found nothing, which made him have to sigh that the time rift was really a powerful stealth skill.......

Time passed minute by minute in the chaotic night, Cheng Mo did not receive any information from Bai Xiuxiu, nor did he find any abnormal situation, and Bai Xiuxiu, a fifty-nine-story skyscraper, would not be able to complete the investigation alone. Cheng Mo lay down, got two newspapers to cover his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and opened the live broadcast URL on the film network.

At this time, the water in the sink had already passed through Han Jieji's calves, and the red numbers reflected on the cylindrical glass sink had become 15 hours, 10 minutes, and 19 seconds, and next to the red numbers, there were red blood stains, and the viscous blood had scratched a series of flow marks on the thick glass sink.

The atmosphere was tragic and suffocating.

Cheng Mo had observed the thickness of the glass sink from the beginning, and knew that such a thick tempered glass, even if he hit it with a hammer, it might not be broken, let alone flesh and blood, except for relying on external forces to rescue, it was almost impossible for Han Jieji to save himself. If he was inside, there would be nothing he could do, but he would never waste his strength on breaking the glass, he would just sit and rest, leaving some strength to try to plug the seepage hole above him when the water flooded his head, so that he could struggle for a while.

Cheng Mo didn't look at Mr. Han too much, but began to study the other details revealed in the video, and he began to notice that the TV next to the cylindrical sink was playing the BBC's late-night program "Focuson Africa." Hours of English, and "FocusonAfrica", a BBC news channel late-night show, starts at half past one in England time, and Greece has a two-hour time difference between England and England, which is exactly right.

It's just that why doesn't the other party broadcast the multilingual "Euronews" (European News Channel), which Europa people prefer to watch, and you must know that "Euronews" is also broadcast 24 hours a day, so why doesn't the other party choose to choose the BBC?

Therefore, from a habitual point of view, it seems that the other party is not Europa, which is why Cheng Mo judged that the probability of the Greek stalker organization "Kaos" committing the crime is relatively low, of course, Cheng Mo alone is not sure that it must be related to Hydra, but a combination of various factors, including the location where Ayala finally disappeared, and the small leader on the eleventh floor also coincidentally ran away before Chen Shaohua caught him, and all kinds of signs on the surface of Hydra are not involved.

However, in terms of strength alone, Hydra is a little too weak compared to Taiji Dragon, and the other party really has no reason to provoke and provoke Taiji Dragon, there must be other stalker organizations behind Hydra.

Cheng Mo quietly stared at the live video of the death on the film network until the sky turned white, and after receiving the message from Bai Xiuxiu's return, Cheng Mo stuffed the phone back into his pocket and opened the newspaper covering his head. At this moment, the yellow-faced and thin-skinned refugees have woken up from their sleep, and in the cold and smelly air, many people are facing the east and are making their morning prayers, and on both sides of the narrow streets, there are pious people everywhere chanting and doing strange movements, and the scene is quite shocking.

Cheng Mo thought to himself, faith is really magical.

He raised his eyes and looked around, and there were also people who had finished the morning prayer holding a smartphone that looked like anycall at first glance, but in fact it was anycool and was playing with the phone, the name of the chicken thief, and the shape that resembled Galaxy, knew that anycool was a major mobile phone manufacturer from Huaqiangbei.

After a while, when the sun leaped out of the skyline, ragged men and women in turbans came out of the room, and sleepy children rubbed their eyes and looked blankly at the place where the sun had risen, and the quiet slum began a noisy day.

Cheng Mo felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and knew that it was Bai Xiuxiu coming, he got up and held up the newspaper against the wall, and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

Cheng Mo's words fell, and he felt a soft and warm breath in his ears, and Bai Xiuxiu's voice sounded softly, " The inside is too big, like a labyrinth, the more upward the guards, the more strict the guards, the environment inside is much better than the outside, the more up the decoration is also better, the fewer people live, to the thirty floors above it seems that many are offices, the degree of modernization is very high, if you don't know, you will definitely think that this is a large international company, I guess it is where Hydra works, but unfortunately I only went to the fortieth floor, and the upper part has not been able to see, but I am sure there must be a stalker above......"

Cheng Mo looked up at the skyscraper in the morning light, the building was cylindrical on three sides, and the rectangular on one side, the cylindrical walls on three sides were covered with green glass, the glass was full of mud, the glass on some floors was still broken, and the rusty steel frame was exposed to the view, as if the building had experienced a great disaster. As for the rectangular wall, Cheng Mo was limited by his viewing angle, and could only see the cheap white tiles reflecting a ray of sunlight in the sunlight......

Looking at it from the outside, it was difficult to imagine the scene described by Bai Xiuxiu, and Cheng Mo asked in a low voice, "Why are you sure?"

"The staircase on the fortieth floor is sealed with a special alloy, and I guess the ceiling is also made of a special alloy, so that the Chosen One can't use teleportation, and the only way to go up is the elevator, but the elevator is guarded. ”

"What about the exterior wall?" Cheng Mo asked, looking at the dark green glass curtain wall.

Bai Xiuxiu was silent for a moment and whispered, "I have seen this kind of design in the Black Death's stronghold in England. When you teleport out of the building, whether you are attached to a wall or floating in the air, you will be sensed by the probe, not even the temporal rift......"

Cheng Mo gasped and said with a wry smile: "This is not a big fish, but a shark..... It's normal to think about it, wasn't the Black Death also involved in human trafficking? How could an organization like Hydra, which was also involved in human trafficking, not have a relationship?"

"The time for me to go offline is coming soon, and I have to get back to my body. What are you planning now?" Bai Xiuxiu asked in Cheng Mo's ear.

Cheng Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'll stay here, Sister Bai, contact Uncle Li after you go back, he knows more about the Black Death, see if there is any information that can be used..."

"Okay, stay safe, we'll be in touch at any time. ”

Cheng Mo stared at the entrance of the black hole hole of the skyscraper in the distance and nodded.

(A wave will break out tomorrow)
