Chapter 231: Dangerous Game
The large flat on the top floor of the executive building has been transformed into a banquet hall, where hundreds of guests, men and women, dressed in elegant dresses and holding wine glasses, walk back and forth.
Hayato Miyata said with a smile, "Today is the 46th anniversary of the establishment of Daystar Eden, and these are the distinguished guests of our garden who have helped us a lot. On the occasion of the anniversary, I invited them all to get together. ”
Su Mo was a little stunned at this time.
Among the guests present were celebrities, well-known entrepreneurs, and important officials of government departments, all of whom were the social elites of Crescent City.
According to the game's plot, there will be a big explosion in Daystar Eden tonight, and hundreds of social elites will be killed in the flames.
Such an outrageous event, and then there was no news report?
This is so abnormal!
All kinds of visions are telling Summer that there is a story behind the Daystar Eden, and it is a very large story.
As one of the "Seven Stars of the New Moon", Su Mo is also a celebrity, and he attracted a lot of people's attention when he appeared.
"Hey, Captain Su, good evening."
"When we meet for the first time, we have admired the daimyo for a long time, and we will have a drink together?"
"Captain Su is also interested in the Garden of Eden?"
Su Mo didn't say much, just smiled politely at the person who greeted him, his mind completely focused on the impending explosion.
It was already evening, less than two hours before the explosion took place at 19:23.
Whatever the cause of the explosion, the death of hundreds of Crescent City elites was definitely not a good thing for him.
The first is that these people have a big business, and they may have some dealings with marginal mercenary groups in the future, which is a potential customer.
What's more, if this place is bombed into the sky, it will be difficult for him to understand the hidden story behind it.
So now it's time to find a way to stop the explosion.
Directly shouting "there are bombs here" is definitely not okay.
Let's not say whether others believe him or not.
Even if you believe it, it is very troublesome to explain why you know that there is a bomb.
This matter needs to be done a little more delicately in order to get through.
Su Mo excused himself for a stomachache, hid in the bathroom and sat on the toilet lid, and took out the tablet from his bag.
Before entering Daystar Eden, he had already left a mini reconnaissance robot outside, which was made in the future and used when dealing with Ou Chenyu.
Su Mo manipulated the mini robot to crawl on the tablet, watching the real-time transmission back.
He first checked some regular locations, such as warehouses, ventilation ducts, etc., but found no clues.
After searching for more than an hour, the bomb was still not found.
At this time, Su Mo remembered that Hayato Miyata had mentioned to him that in order to improve the comfort of living, Daystar Eden carried out a large-scale renovation project in the first half of the year, and many underground pipes were relaid.
"Could it be that the murderer is taking advantage of that time?"
Su Mo immediately manipulated the robot to find the entrance to the underground pipe and let it climb in.
Underground pipes run in all directions, running through the entire Eden foundation, and apart from routine repairs once every few years, no one will enter the area.
The robot climbs over a fork in the road to the location of the main pipe.
When he saw the picture transmitted back on the screen, even though he was mentally prepared, Su Mo couldn't help but gasp.
dynamite
At first glance, it is full of high explosives.
[Anjing New District, 19:22 p.m.]
The night is quiet, and only the lights of the distant city dot the night sky.
Dressed in a dignified Lolita dress, Qi Ling sat on the edge of the rooftop on the top floor of the villa, her white stocking-wrapped calves dangling leisurely.
The pair of amber eyes reflected the distant night, and the smiling lips opened slightly, singing a beautiful ballad:
"The years pass quietly, and the past is like smoke."
"Memories are devastated, and nothing will be erased."
She sang softly as she picked up something beside her.
It was a pink-painted revolver, not a toy gun for children, but a custom-made real gun.
She held the revolver, her slender fingers picking up the bullets and filling them into the chamber one by one.
"This is my promise to you."
The black Labrador she had raised had been released outside the villa at some point, and the vast and quiet new area was left to run.
But the dog did not leave, it seemed to sense something, looked up at its owner at the edge of the roof, ran anxiously back and forth, wailed, and tried to scratch the closed door with its paws.
The clock was passing slowly and it was about to reach 19:23.
"You have become a ghost of time."
"I, too, will be a ghost across time."
"Click." The last bullet is loaded.
“3。”
Qiling smiled and pulled off the revolver hammer, and pointed the muzzle of the gun through the silver hair to his temple, and began the countdown to life.
“2。”
The amber pupils shimmered in the distant lights, shining like jewels, full of hope for death.
“1。”
She put her finger on the trigger and raised her other hand slowly upward, as if the conductor was about to start a feast, her face flushed with intoxication.
“BOOM。”
With a soft mutter, she pulled the trigger.
The Labrador's crying was also terrible.
At night, the lights were still bright, and no sound came.
Only the wailing echoed.
The moment the trigger was about to cross the firing point, Qi Ling's finger stopped.
She looked at the night in the distance, tilting her head slightly, her eyes showing a little confusion.
“BOOM。”
No sound.
“BOOM。”
There is no flame.
“BOOM。”
Nothing was expected.
"Huh?" Qi Ling let out a confused groan, took out his phone and looked at the time.
19:24 p.m.
The time has passed.
She put her fingers to the tips of her lips, her eyes full of puzzlement.
At this time, a news pop-up window appeared in the information bar of the mobile phone.
[Breaking news: The Security Bureau of Anmu New District cracked a bombing attack on Daystar Eden]
Qi Ling clicked on it, and in the video, the news reporter was announcing to everyone with a serious expression: "Audience friends, I am standing at the gate of the Daystar Garden of Eden now. ”
"About an hour ago, the security bureau of the An'an New District received an anonymous call claiming that the Garden of Eden would be hit by an explosion tonight."
"The police officers quickly dispatched and after a comprehensive investigation, finally found a huge amount of explosives in the underground pipeline of Eden, and the EOD experts have dismantled all of them without any casualties."
"Who exactly planted these explosives? What is the purpose? And who made the anonymous call? The case is still under further investigation, so please pay attention to our follow-up report. ”
Qi Ling tilted his little head and said to himself with a confused expression: "Strange, it's usually impossible for anyone to go in there, why do you know that there is a bomb?" ”
The live broadcast continued, and the camera was given to the evacuated guests.
Qi Ling looked at the faces that he remembered day and night, and identified them one by one, and suddenly his eyes were certain.
She pressed the pause button.
The picture freezes on the face of a young man.
"Hey, who are you?" Qi Ling looked at the young man and thought thoughtfully, "There shouldn't be you among the guests who will go to the banquet tonight." ”
She continued to watch the broadcast, confirmed that there was only this uninvited guest at the scene, and then took a screenshot of his face and opened the image recognition software.
The young man was famous, and soon, all sorts of matching information related to him popped up.
Qi Ling looked at the information and muttered, "Su Mo, the leader of the Edge Mercenary Regiment, the death omen of the New Moon Seven Stars"
"Well, why are you there tonight when you are not on the guest list? Are you the one who ruined my plans? ”
Her smiling lips rose in a deep arc, and her amber pupils filled with a dangerous smile.
"Then you can play with me."
