Chapter 247: Codex
Is it too late to apply for a substitution to lead the team? Qi Zhuyue thought bitterly.
The answer, of course, is no.
She now knows why Xia Chengyin is vague, because the person who sent the message is Bai Su, and she and Bai Su are not in good condition, if Xia Chengyin says it directly, she will definitely find an excuse to push it.
Whether you can push it off is another matter, you still have to try.
Only herself, Xia Chengyin and Gao Tianyi know about Qi Zhuyue's relationship with Bai Su, and other colleagues don't know anything if they don't take the initiative to say it, let alone Bai Su himself.
However, why is Bai Su so impressed by her, is this an intuitive system?
Brunette: "So we really haven't seen each other before?" ”
Woman with ponytail: "...... No. ”
Qi Zhuyue pretended to be calm and stepped forward and called out the name of the young man who was sitting: "Bai, Baisu, right?" ”
The black-haired young man nodded, casually throwing the mobile phone he was holding into a plastic bag on the side.
In addition to the human body that did not know life and death, there were also some miscellaneous objects scattered around his feet.
Said to be miscellaneous items, there were books that were opened and held on the ground, there were wonderful weapons that could not be obtained through regular channels, and the bag containing a lot of mobile phones.
The most eye-catching thing is, of course, those weapons, when Qi Zhuyue saw the oval one on the ground like this, her heart was about to stop.
No matter how strong they are, they can't match a grenade that just happens to explode.
Bai Su watched the members of the special department take away the bomb that would not explode at all and had already destroyed the internal structure of the bomb, and then Qi Zhuyue, who was wearing a ponytail, approached.
"Your phone...... Senior Xia said that he couldn't get through. Qi Zhuyue looked at the mobile phone she had just thrown into the bag, her face confused.
Then the old man machine is not like what they will be equipped with in their department, right?
To this, Bai Su's answer was: "The phone is out of battery." ”
Qi Zhuyue slowly typed a question mark.
The mobile phone given by their department is not to mention that the standby is super long, judging from the information she learned below, Bai Su has been in this building for two days at most.
In two days, the phone ran out of battery?
Qi Zhuyue had an idea: "How long has your phone not been charged......?" ”
Bai Su thought for a while and replied: "Three or four days, isn't it enough to charge it when it drops below 10 percent?" ”
For a while, all the humans around looked at Bai Su with the eyes of a stranger.
How can anyone not be nervous about the battery of the mobile phone, as long as the conditions allow, they must keep the mobile phone fully charged.
Bai Su bent down, rummaged through the bag, and took out his own black screen that could not be turned on.
He also found that his mobile phone could not be used before he found other human mobile phones, most of which were locked, and only a few old mobile phones were easy to open.
If you just browse the web, the old man's machine is enough.
Qi Zhuyue felt that it was pointless to talk more on the topic of mobile phones, so she hurriedly retracted her deviant thoughts.
"Ahem." The woman with the ponytail coughed lightly, "Is it convenient to talk about this one?" ”
Qi Zhuyue looked at the person lying on the ground meaningfully, he was still a living person, but he couldn't wake up.
The hood covering the cloaked man's head had been ripped off by the white man, revealing a scruffy but slightly youthful face.
Looking at the age is not very old, about 30 years old, with heavy blue-black circles under the eyes, it can be seen that there is usually little sleep and rest.
Bai Su looked at the cloaked man and then at Qi Zhuyue, and clapped his hands.
"First...... And again...... Finally bang, bang, click, bang bang - I'll ...... Brought him up. ”
Bai Su is concise and to the point, using a lot of onomatopoeia to describe the unspeakable scenes that happen, he thinks he can learn quite vividly, but to humans it sounds like a blank.
Qi Zhuyue had a far-fetched smile on her face and asked, "What's the last?" ”
Bai Su repeated it: "Bang, bang, click, bang." ”
Qi Zhuyue's smile was a little unbearable: "Mr. Bai, I don't understand what you say!" ”
Bai Su blinked at the human and smiled innocently: "Didn't I make it very clear?" Or ask him. ”
Bai Su pointed his hand and pointed at the cloaked man on the ground who couldn't wake up.
Qi Zhuyue looked at the cloaked man on the ground silently, if she could wake people up, she would definitely not come to ask Bai Su.
Bai Su watched the human helplessly flip the cloaked man over and over again, and did not wake anyone up until he found a stretcher to send him away.
Bai Su, who had secretly done something behind his back, hid a touch of white on his fingertips.
Wake up is not going to wake up, I just don't know where the humans will send the cloaked man.
Hiding his face and yawning, Bai Su's conscience pointed to the book that had fallen on the ground.
It's not so much a book as a codex, and the notebook has a special cover, so it looks a bit like a book, and when you open it, it's full of the cloaked man's handwriting.
"They seem to be doing something weird." Bai Su said, "You can take a look." ”
After dragging the cloaked man all the way upstairs before, Bai Su changed his expression.
Disgusted, he threw the cloaked man on the floor, fetched the cloth from the other rooms and began rummaging through what he was carrying.
Actually, there is a more convenient way, but when you think of the aura on the cloaked man...... Bai Su gave up that plan.
Everything found was thrown to the ground, weapons and a mess of knick-knacks, only the codex on that side stood out the most.
Bai Su roughly flipped through it, and only looked at the beginning to know that this was conclusive evidence sufficient to characterize the event.
Although the name of the mysterious existence behind them is still not revealed, there is a slight hazy description of the image.
Roshan, red Roshan.
Pinching up the pages through the fabric, Bai Su showed a thoughtful look.
He felt that the description was a little familiar, and he seemed to ...... Where have I seen it.
Where? The monster searched its own memories and found nothing.
Bai Su struggled for two seconds and threw away the familiar sense of sight, and by the way, he also buckled the codex to the ground.
After going to an office on the same floor to retrieve the bag containing his phone, he sat there and waited for the special department to arrive.
Qi Zhuyue glanced at Bai Su, leaned down and picked up the upside-down notebook.
She flipped through two pages, then slower and slower, and the expression on her face became more serious.
"This is not and-" Qi Zhuyue raised her head and blurted out, but soon, she swallowed back the words that followed.
"And what?" Bai Su, who didn't get what the humans said, asked rhetorically.
“…… It's nothing. Qi Zhuyue quickly put her attention on the notebook in her hand.
She couldn't say that she thought this book was a bit similar to the abbot's diary that she brought back from Fuzhao Temple.
Even if he could explain that he was in charge of Fuzhao Temple, Qi Zhuyue still didn't want to have anything to do with Bai Su.
There is no way to avoid the work.
The Codex is quite long, and it takes a long time to study it, because it is full of obscure words and phrases, and some verses peculiar to the Riddler.
Qi Zhuyue shouted backwards, and the team members in the rear handed her a box that could be sealed, and she put the codex in it.
"By the way, Mr. Bai, do you know what's going on with that explosion downstairs?"
speculated that the onomatopoeia of "bang bang bang" in the end was related to the big hole broken downstairs, and Qi Zhuyue had no choice but to go into battle in person and began to ask.
This time, Bai Su's account was a little more detailed.
"You mean, there are two people who are wearing cloaks, and you think something is wrong and you ask straight to the point......
For a while, Qi Zhuyue didn't know what to evaluate, and in the end she could only hold back the word "reckless" in her heart.
"And then you ...... Fighting? Those two cloaked men first blew open the door of the room, and finally you chased all the way downstairs, down the stairs? ”
Qi Zhuyue thought about it strangely, and found no traces of the fight in the stairwell, except for the blood stains that were dragged, it could be called clean.
"No, it's not." Bai Su shook his head, and then he stood up and walked down the hallway.
The people in the special department are unknown, so, you look at me, I look at you, and followed.
Bai Su led them to a gap in the hallway.
The humans downstairs in front didn't pay much attention, they just thought it was a collapse caused by the explosion, but now standing upstairs and looking at it, they can easily see the smooth and flat incision.
If you give a little more time, you can investigate it, but Bai Su led people to take a shortcut directly.
Qi Zhuyue looked at the incision and muttered, "This is ......?" ”
Bai Su replied, "It was cut with a sword." ”
Qi Zhuyue asked, "Sword? ”
Bai Su looked left and right: "You wait a minute. ”
With that, the black-haired young man walked his way without waiting for a reply, bypassing the members of the special department who stood in his way, and he stood in front of several giant cement blocks.
Then Bai Su put his five fingers on the edge of the steel bar and lifted it slightly, picked up the cement block that was taller than a person and put it aside, and the remaining pieces were concocted in the same way.
Eventually, he picked up a dusty sword on the ground.
The people around didn't understand what Bai Su was doing, only Qi Zhuyue frowned slightly, as if she had an idea.
Bai Su chose the easiest way to show humans how sharp this sword was.
With a wave of the hand, there is no cracking click, and what appears in front of human eyes is the picture of "cutting tofu".
The people from the special department silently turned their heads, compared the incisions in the ground, and suddenly understood what was going on with this collapsed ceiling.
"What is this?"
"Another Cloaked Man's weapon."
"No, I mean, how did this end up there?"
Judging by the sharpness of the sword, it is not a mortal thing, and if it is brought back to the bureau, it may be sealed and used for secondment when it is determined to be harmless.
No matter which angle you look at, the owner of the weapon will not throw away the sword.
Unless...... The woman in the ponytail broke away from her contemplation, her eyes flickering at the black-haired young man who was carrying a sword without any technique.
Unless someone snatches the sword.
Bai Su, who was thought to have snatched someone's weapon, threw the sword to the side casually, and no one from the special department dared to step forward to catch it, and finally the sword went straight through the floor, leaving only the hilt of the sword on the ground.
Of course, the sword pierced the ceiling below, but fortunately the sword was not long enough, and there were no tall people below.
The people of the special department carefully put away their swords again, and Bai Su led the humans to continue walking backwards.
Skimming over the office area, which was already cluttered to the point where no one was there, the group walked out of the red room.
The red room, whose walls had been completely blasted open, was worse inside than outside, and the crooked furniture was divided into several pieces, and it was clearly discernible from the cutouts what weapon caused it.
"It's the sword, isn't it?" Qi Zhuyue said to herself, "It can only be that." ”
The woman with the ponytail walked into the red room, feeling uncomfortable as soon as she stepped into the confines of the wall.
The human looked around in bewilderment, his gaze resting on the wallpaper on either side.
Qi Zhuyue, who has always been very inspired, instantly lowered her head, and after about ten seconds, she raised her head again when the rest of the people were struggling with whether to step forward to check the situation.
The time difference of only ten seconds made Qi Zhuyue's face pale, and her lips lost their color.
Leaning against the wall, Bai Su watched the human female exit the room by herself, commanding the others to tear off all the wallpaper and put it away, and then stepped back inside.
Hmm, how do you feel that this state of human beings is quite familiar.
Should be...... What is the state when you come out from under the banyan tree of prayer?
Bai Su watched the back of the human female wander around the room that had lost the red wallpaper, and she didn't know what she had confirmed, and it took ten minutes before she walked out.
Qi Zhuyue held a notebook and pen in her hand, which recorded some marks and short sentences that she could only understand herself, so that she could go back and summarize them.
She followed Bai Su backwards to push the incident, walked from the hole downstairs to the destroyed red room, and then went to a conference room to see the furnishings inside, and today's investigation is almost the same.
"Thank you very much Mr. Bai for your cooperation, what you reported-"
"Well, what report?"
The black-haired youth raised his eyes, and the man took a step back.
"It's the report of this incident, Mr. Bai, you are also a participant, it stands to reason that you have to hand over ......" Qi Zhuyue wrote two more words in the notebook, and when she looked up again, except for the team members she brought, there was no black-haired young man in front of her.
The team member who was watched by Qi Zhuyue stepped aside and pointed to the collapsed hole exposed behind him: "That one, jumped down from there." ”
"Huh?" Qi Zhuyue clenched her pen suddenly, "Jumped down?" ”
The team member nodded: "That one said he went down to find a friend." ”
Qi Zhuyue didn't know why she had a sense of déjà vu - a familiar sense of déjà vu from a colleague's report document.
After being stunned for a while, Qi Zhuyue suddenly closed the notepad in his hand: "This is an escape, right!?" ”
Although she was a little stunned by Bai Su, in order to take on more work, she was still ready to ask someone to find Bai Su back.
As soon as he called someone's name, another corridor extending from the elevator, a colleague hurriedly came over, he leaned into Qi Zhuyue's ear, and whispered something.
"What are you talking about, white-" Qi Zhuyue's voice raised, and then she closed her mouth, letting the rest of the words disappear between her teeth.
She couldn't take care of Bai Su anymore, and hurriedly followed her later colleagues to the other side.
Bai Su, who successfully avoided the nasty writing work, jumped downstairs and blended in with the human police in a natural manner, except for his somewhat messy clothes, he couldn't tell that he was one of the "victims" at the scene.
Ordinary policemen looked at the direction he came down and took him for someone from a special department.
Bai Su asked where the rescued people were, and the ordinary policeman showed him the way.
The vacated empty room was not very far away, and those dizzy victims were sitting there, and An Xiangwen was naturally among them.
Bai Su walked towards the place where An Xiangwen was sitting, lowered his head, and met the curly-haired young man's ethereal gaze.
Human names roll around on the tip of the tongue.
