Leaving the Tooth Tiger base, KK and Cao Yulin returned to the Edge Building one after another.

In order to prevent others from seeing the clues, the two of them returned half an hour apart, and thought of going out according to Ou Chenyu's request.

KK came to the 88th floor where he lived, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, he met the oncoming Dongdong.

Dong Dong leaned over to KK's side and smiled evilly: "Eh, the actor, you're back, are you still going well?" Did you play the bad pen of the toothed tiger? ”

KK's eyes were empty and unfocused, like a walking corpse, and he didn't even react when he bumped into Dongdong when he passed by, so he walked back to his room without saying a word and closed the door.

Knock looked at the closed door, touched the back of his head and muttered, "What's the matter?"

When KK returned to his room, he collapsed on the bed in despair, his mind full of the bomb in his body, exhausted and haggard, and a feeling of dizziness hit his mind.

His eyes gradually rolled up, and he fell into a coma of mental exhaustion, and he slept motionless until the next day, and slept in the dark.

He slept for a long time, but he had nightmares that were not steady, and when he woke up, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, his eyes were sunken into his mental malaise, and his back was not straight.

He came to the restaurant to have some lunch, and just after finishing the dishes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a mercenary not far away asking for a white chopped chicken.

Looking at the "broken corpses" of the chickens on the other party's plate, and then thinking of the similar tragic situation after the explosion of the bomb in his body, KK suddenly felt the sour water gushing up his throat, and his stomach turned upside down.

"Gasp—" He stumbled, spilled his food all over the floor, and threw up on the edge of the trash can.

At this time, Su Mo was eating not far away.

All kinds of things during this period of time, what gambling addiction, what stealing money and being beaten, are all "scripts" arranged by KK and him.

The purpose is to trap Cao Yulin, a top intelligence officer, and send KK back into the Tooth Tiger Mercenary Group to become a double agent, and then he should work together to get rid of Ou Chenyu.

The most important thing about this trap is two things.

First, Su Mo knew Cao Yulin's identity, and he opened the "Eye of Heaven" from the beginning of the fight, and he could lay out from the perspective of God.

The second is that KK's acting skills honed in the border since he was a child, as well as his improvisational nonsense, can cooperate with Su Mo to set a trap for Ou Chenyu and Cao Yulin.

According to the "script", the relationship between the two is now stiff, and Su Mo should not care about him.

And KK also mentioned that during his acting to fool Cao Yulin, there will be a lot of "improvisation" outside the script, so that everyone should not react too much, so as not to expose the stuffing.

So Su Mo didn't move, just looked at KK secretly, and thought: Spit when he says it, what kind of anti-heaven acting skills is this, but what is he playing?

At present, only Sumo, Dongdong, Mikura, and KK himself know the inside story of the script, which is in absolute secrecy.

In the eyes of the other mercenaries, KK is now a gambling bug and does not pay back the money, so no one pays attention to him.

KK vomited and was left with nothing in the back, his face full of tears and snot, struggling to get up and run out.

He washed his face and rinsed his mouth in the toilet sink, retching from time to time, his face was not bloody, and his hand was shaking when he received water.

"Huh~"

The sound of whistling from behind him made him shudder.

He turned his head to look at Cao Yulin and asked unwillingly, "What are you doing?" ”

There are no outsiders here, and Cao Yulin also stripped off the disguise of his friendliness in the past, and sneered: "As for being scared like this? ”

KK scolded back: "your horse, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, try to put a bomb in your stomach?!" ”

Cao Yulin said lazily: "Don't worry, it's just an insurance." As long as you obediently help the toothed tiger do things, the bomb will not explode, and the money that should be given will be given to you. ”

KK just laughed miserably and didn't speak.

"Get down to business." Cao Yulin handed over a USB flash drive, "This is your first job." ”

KK took the USB flash drive and asked in a low voice, "What is this?" ”

Cao Yulin said lightly: "You don't care about anything, you only need to do one thing - go to the underground laboratory, plug this USB flash drive into the computer you will use in the future in the boot state, unplug it, and return it to me." It's as simple as that. ”

KK's face was gloomy: "There are only more than twenty people who can enter the underground laboratory, doing things there, what if Su Mo tracks me down?!" ”

Cao Yanlin said casually: "That's your business." You used to be a thief, and you can steal the owner's things without leaving a trace, so it shouldn't be difficult to plug and unplug the USB flash drive, right? ”

KK gritted his teeth unwillingly, so he could only put the USB flash drive in his pocket and leave without saying a word.

Cao Yanlin's meaningful voice came from behind him: "Do a good job, the toothed tiger will not treat you badly." ”

KK walked into the elevator, passed the iris permission recognition, and the underground access authority was unlocked.

He hovered his finger over the elevator button.

But it stopped.

He stood there, his fingers not pressing.

A look of complexity and depth flashed in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and pressed the button hard.

In the evening of the same day, the underground laboratory welcomed an unexpected guest.

Future raised his head from the experimental table and looked at KK who walked in the door, looking a little surprised: "Yo, I actually see you here." ”

KK tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I'm tired of the game, come down and take a stroll." ”

"Wander around, come to my lab?" Future smiled, she recorded the data on the computer, and said casually, "It's okay to go shopping, don't touch the equipment, some things are dangerous." ”

KK put his hands in his pockets and smiled briefly: "Don't worry, I'm not such a debtor." ”

"Uh-huh." The future concentrated on sorting out the data and didn't speak again.

KK was wandering around the lab, looking here, looking there.

The researchers were too busy experimenting to take care of KK.

KK walked around for more than ten minutes and roughly figured out the walking routes of each researcher.

While no one was paying attention, he quietly walked into an experimental chamber separated by transparent explosion-proof glass.

Inside, there is a self-operating hot melt instrument, which is conducting experiments on the synthesis of new materials.

KK put on rubber gloves to cover his fingerprints, found the hot melt power button, pulled the power to the maximum, and walked quickly out of the experimental chamber.

The little gesture just now didn't attract anyone's attention.

He walked back to his future station, deliberately let out a long breath, pulling his collar and shaking it to dissipate heat: "Whew-the corridor over there is hot enough." ”

"Hot?" Future raised his head and asked inexplicably, "There is constant temperature equipment in the laboratory, how can it be hot?" ”

KK pretended to be puzzled and scratched his head, pointing into the distance: "I don't know, it's hot just passing by there anyway." ”

Future looked suspicious and left his desk and ran over.

Not long after, a future scream came from the corridor in the distance: "Mu Xi! The hot melt power is so big, do you want to see the fried fireworks?! ”

A young female researcher ran over in a panic: "Hey, I was adjusted according to the feedback data, I should be right."

Taking advantage of the future to leave the workstation, KK took out the USB flash drive in his arms and plugged it into her computer interface.

Something surprising happened.

The computers of the future suddenly appeared gibberish, and some unknown virus spread along the local area network, immediately sweeping all the computers in the laboratory.

All of a sudden, every computer was paralyzed, and there was a lot of noise:

"Eh, what's the situation? My computer is garbled. ”

"Mine too! It can't be operated! ”

"Future Chief Master, come and see, something is going wrong!"

"How did this happen? What did you just do? ”

"There's nothing to do, just run the experimental software normally, and suddenly that's it."

The laboratory fell into a commotion, and KK took advantage of the chaos to unplug the USB flash drive and quietly left.

He went to the lobby on the first floor and tossed into the bathroom.

Cao Yulin is washing his face here.

KK put the USB stick in his pocket and washed his hands as if nothing had happened.

Cao Yulin looked at himself in the mirror and asked lightly: "Done?" ”

"Hmm." KK slapped the cold water on his face and asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is in the USB flash drive?" As soon as I plugged it in, all the computers went down. ”

Cao Yulin shook off the water in his hands, and said calmly while arranging his hair: "K, my brother gave you a word of advice." If you want to gain a foothold in the tooth tiger, do more things and ask less. ”

That night, the entire Edge Mansion was shrouded in a bleak cloud of gloom.

The unfortunate news came from the underground laboratory that the experimental computer had been attacked by unknown hackers, the system had been completely destroyed, and all data could not be recovered.

The researchers performed an emergency disconnection, their hands shaking and tapping on their keyboards, trying to recoup some of the damage, but the display was filled with endless garbled characters and warning messages.

These experimental data are extremely precious, and they are all the hard work of everyone who has worked overtime for so long.

Breakthroughs were made in many key areas, and important results could have been achieved with hard work, but all progress was wasted overnight.

The researchers couldn't contain their frustration, slammed their keyboards on the table, and yelled at the hackers who did it, their voices of indignation echoing throughout the lab.

Among these people, the most desperate is not others, but the future.

The researchers only worked in the fringe building, and they were paid as much as they wanted, and the destruction of the experimental data was only a moment of anger.

But the future is a very pure person, not seeking money or fame, research is not her job, but the only interest in life.

This time the laboratory was destroyed, and it literally cost her life.

These experimental data were all accumulated when she first followed Su Mo.

Many experiments are not even a matter of starting from scratch, but it was a matter of luck to succeed in the first place, and the probability of being bumped into by her was one in a million.

This kind of data is almost unattainable, and if you miss it once, you may not be able to reproduce it in this lifetime.

When Mirai was taken out of the lab, she cried so miserably that she collapsed on the floor of the hall, crying out in tears.

"Whoa—" She rubbed her hands into tears and rolled on the floor with tears in her eyes, her hair scattered over her face, wet with tears and sweat, and her eyelids so swollen that she could barely open them.

Su Mo paced back and forth in the hall, his face as ugly as death's ashes, and he tried to comfort the future, only to cry out even more poignantly.

The researchers in the lab kept coming in reports that it was all bad news, that all the experimental data had been destroyed, and that there was no way to recover it.

Su Mo's emotions erupted like a volcano, and he kicked and shattered the potted plants in the hall, scattering broken tiles and dirt everywhere.

KK stood in the corner against the wall, looking at his companions who had been with him day and night crying, with a trace of unbearable and sad in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the desire to survive.

Cao Yanlin glanced at KK, and couldn't be more satisfied with this kind of real look.

Cao Yulin was pretending to be with the other mercenaries to appease the researcher at this time, he walked up to the crying future, patted her on the head, and said softly: "Chief Master, cheer up, it will be fine." ”

Future kicked his legs on the ground with his red and swollen eyes, hissing and crying: "What do you know?!" Any idea how sad this is?! Wow! It hurts, it hurts! ”

Cao Yulin faked a sigh, secretly looked sideways at KK, and cast an approving look.

KK turned his face slightly, his eyes full of loneliness.

At this time, the mobile phone in KK's arms shook.

He walked through the side door to the back alley where no one was around, and picked up the phone.

"I've heard you're doing a great job." Ou Chenyu's voice came from the earpiece.

KK sniffed and said in a deep voice: "It's just a USB flash drive, what's so difficult." ”

Ou Chenyu chuckled and asked in a mocking tone: "Speaking of which, I'm curious and want to interview you." ”

"Although Su Mo is not as kind to you, he is righteous enough, you have caused so many bad things to help you settle it, and even fought with me at the mercenary summit site for you before."

"How does it feel for you to betray him?"

KK said coldly: "Ou Chenyu, are you starting to install it now?" If you hadn't asked the guy surnamed Cao to set me up and stuff a bomb in my stomach, would I have gotten to this point? ”

Ou Chenyu: "Look at you, I'll ask casually, why are you in a hurry?" ”

KK's emotions became agitated: "Don't talk nonsense in there! I really regret it now, I shouldn't have cooperated with someone like you in the first place! ”

"If you go any further, I shouldn't have talked to Su Mo in the first place! If he hadn't disrupted my life and had to call me a mercenary, Lao Tzu would still be on the border! He ruined my life! Grass! ”

Ou Chenyu smiled deeply, and his tone was full of deep meaning: "I only realize this now, it's too late." What do you think Crescent City is? It's a cannibalistic city. ”

"It is a monster crawling in the dark, devouring the dreams and lives of countless people. Even I could see only 10 percent of it, and 90 percent of the darkness I couldn't even touch. ”

"You're right, lying flat at the bottom is the most chic. If you want to climb up, you have to keep climbing to the top, and if you stop or fall down, you will only become food for this monster. ”

KK sneered sadly: "It sounds like Master Ou Da has high ambitions. ”

Although he was on the phone, he could clearly hear the inflated desire and ambition in Ou Chenyu's voice: "Someone is destined to reach the top in this city, but that person will not be Su Mo, it will be me." ”

KK said coldly: "It doesn't matter to me which of you reaches the top, I just want to live now." What else do you want me to do next? ”

Ou Chenyu said slowly: "Cao Yulin will give you a list, you continue to collect intelligence according to the above requirements, come to the Tooth Tiger Base on Wednesday to talk to me, and I will help you reset the bomb countdown when the time comes." ”

"Lao Tzu's life is ruined by the two of you." KK spat on the ground and hung up.
