"Is that all right?" the tall man urged again.

I turned out of the inside of the bookshelf and walked slowly to the door, the blade hidden in my legs, intently watching the door where the tall man was. About ten paces from the door, I deliberately let out a low cough to indicate my position. The other party was really fooled, and hurriedly dodged out, holding a two-foot-long and three-inch diameter projectile flat, and decisively pulled the trigger.

In an instant, the blade flew out of my fingers, met the rope net that had just opened in mid-air, and immediately cut seven or eight white nylon ropes, castrated unabated, swept over the tall man's neck, and then embedded in the white wall opposite with a beep.

I was caught in the rope net, but the hole in the blade helped me, and I broke free with three strokes and five divisions, and threw the soft net into the corner of the room. Before the battle begins, it is necessary to calculate in advance the means that the opponent may take, so as to "control the enemy before the opportunity," and this is what the instructor has repeatedly emphasized to me.

"If you had such a throwing knife in your hand, you wouldn't have to be a prisoner like you are now, would you?" I smiled at the woman, who frowned and ignored me, but his expression had softened a lot.

A dripping flower of blood bloomed on the white wall near the place where the blade fell, and the tall man stood leaning against the doorway, his throat was cut open, and he immediately lost his combat effectiveness, and the projectile fell to the ground with a thud.

"Follow...... If we go against us, you will die a ...... Ugly......" He raised his right hand and struggled to clutch the fountain of blood around his neck, but that didn't work. He didn't leave me a way out, and I could only settle the battle quickly and protect myself as much as possible, so as not to die at the hands of these nameless gangsters.

Watching him slowly fall to the ground, I didn't have the slightest pleasure after victory, only a slight tiredness in my heart.

I picked up the yellowed handkerchief, and on it was embroidered in pure gold wire a dragon with teeth and claws between the clouds, and the body of the dragon occupied more than two-thirds of the handkerchief, so that the man who had left the book in blood shrunk the text and squeezed it densely. On closer inspection, it was a very sloppy hieroglyph that was simply impossible to decipher.

Five people died at the scene, and the next thing to do is to call the police, but before I can call, I have to untie the bound woman first.

"You don't need to show me favors, if it weren't for the fact that I wouldn't have been in the net for so long, if it weren't for the true identity of this group. She stretched her body straight and stretched the net to the limit, then stretched out the little finger of her right hand and swiped lightly at the nylon rope, the flexible rope breaking at the sound of the sound.

Wordlessly, I raised the projectile at her, unable to dodge the second tie in ten steps with her current position.

"Give me the antidote to ** incense, and then tell me about this blood book, otherwise, as soon as the police arrive, what will happen to you, you should know yourself." "The Miz people are already anxious at this moment, and once they know that the woman in front of them is one of the troublemakers, all kinds of torture will be greeted without saying anything, even innocent people will have to shed a layer of skin first.

"Do you really want to know?" she stopped, sneering and narrowing her eyes, her delicate eyebrows like two slender soft swords.

I nodded, took a step back, and sat down comfortably in a chair, ready to listen.

"The truth kills people - but since so many people have died, it doesn't matter if you're any of them. If you're guts, look to the top right corner of the bookshelf on the left, open the hidden compartment, and you'll see something interesting. She lifted her chin that way.

The pine shelves were sturdy, and where she said was a one-foot-square stainless steel nameplate with three lines of Arabic numeral codes engraved on it.

I groaned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Where did that beetle next door come from?

It is very rare for a beetle to be able to kill a large man in one face, and the strangest thing is that it is mutilated and completely different from normal creatures.

"What?" the woman was stunned, but then covered it up with a sneer, "You forgot, this is a biological research institute, of course, all kinds of strange little things are indispensable, otherwise what would you do research with?"

This explanation is very far-fetched, if the data room is the nest where this woman lives, she must know exactly what is around her and whether there is a hidden danger. There were so many secrets in this woman that I had to make sure repeatedly which of what she said was true and which was false.

I stared at her for a few seconds, not rushing to uncover the nameplate, but slowly pulled out the phone and called Sylvie. To understand the internal affairs of the institute, it is the most time-saving and trouble-free to inquire with Xiwei.

"What will she tell me?" I waited for Sylvie to answer the phone, and my eyes couldn't help but pass over the woman again, guessing what was really going on in her heart.

"Chen Ying?" Xiwei quickly answered the phone.

I reported where I was, and she immediately exclaimed, "That's Miss Kirdge's office and dormitory, just upstairs from me." She is an old virgin who insists on never marrying, and her temper is extremely strange, so don't anger her. In addition, there are many classics in her reference room, which are the only priceless treasures in the world, so please take care of them. ”

At the mention of the name "Kezhi", I suddenly remembered that I had seen a picture of her in Leng Hannan's album, but at that time she was old and ugly, and had an obvious hunchback, while when she appeared in front of me, she was much more energetic and full of murderous energy.

"What's going on here is a bit strange, there's something strange in the freezer next door to the data room, could you please come over and ask Miss Codge to explain everything?"

Xiwei immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go over as soon as possible, don't touch anything inexplicable, take care." ”

She still cared about me, and I could tell from the tone of careful admonition, which made me feel a little touched in my heart.

Putting down the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, approached the bookshelf, and raised my hand to knock on the nameplate. The sign made an empty sound of "dangdang", which showed that there was a small dark grid behind it.

"What's inside?killing poisonous insects, or is it a dangerous mechanism?" my nerves tensed suddenly, but I still calmly faced the woman, with a shallow smile on my face.

"Open that nameplate, and what I want you to see is inside. However, it is neither a poison nor a mechanism, but something that many characters dream of. The woman saw through my mind and sneered.

I picked at the bottom left corner of the sign with my fingernails, pulled out the tiny nail on the corner, and gently lifted it, and the other three nails fell off, and the nameplate fell into my hand. A dark hole seven inches square appeared in the bookshelf, and the outline of a cylinder faintly appeared inside.

"It's there, take it out, and you can feel the kingly spirit of the king. The woman sneered.

I don't know what it is, but my right hand seems to be pulled by some mysterious force, and I involuntarily grasp the cylinder, and with a little force, pull it out. Sunlight shone in through the already unobstructed window frames, enveloping me and the cylinder.

It was a one-foot-high, half-foot-diameter gold cylinder with eight colored gemstones over a centimeter in diameter evenly set at the waist. My heart hung in the air, and I held it in both hands, quickly placed it on the table, and then took two steps back. After the cylinder absorbs the sun's rays, the eight gems on the waist emit a colorful and magical light. After a moment's pause, the gold began to glow, from yellow to gold, from gold to red, and finally, the entire cylinder seemed to be enveloped in soaring flames.

"Is it the 'Celestial Seal'?" is it the 'Prometheus Fire'?" I couldn't help but take another step back and look down at my palm. The ten fingers and palms were also rendered by the red light, turning into an eerie fiery red.

The flames continued to spread, and the walls, roof, floor, and all the furniture in the library were dyed red.

"Yes, it is, a treasure that makes millions of people in black and white sometimes panic and sometimes ecstasy. No one knew where it came from, but they couldn't help but fight for it and gave their lives for it. Now that you've seen it, do you have a strong desire in your heart to keep it for yourself?" the woman's words seemed so far away that I had to prick up my ears to listen intently to understand what she meant.

The red light made me extremely excited, and I seemed to have a pot of boiling water in my chest, and I felt the incomparable warmth all over my body, and the heat that could not be released flowed quickly in the veins, making me want to raise my arms and fly for nine days, so that my whole body and mind were immersed in the cool breeze of nature. The burnout and exhaustion of retiring from the world disappeared, replaced by the ambition to help the world, and I realized what an irresponsible decision it was for me to quit the organization, and the instructor gave me so much knowledge that I should use my strengths to give back to the society, rather than living in a corner and letting time pass in the ordinary loneliness. That's not only irresponsible to yourself, but also irresponsible to the painstaking solitude of the instructors.

"I'm going back to the organization. I muttered to myself, reaching for the phone, just wanting to contact the instructor right away and show him what I was thinking.

Suddenly, the red light skyrocketed tenfold, turning into an overwhelming fire, and at once engulfing me. A bottomless ravine appeared before my eyes, splitting the land in half, and countless tall buildings tilted and collapsed, falling into cracks like piles of toy bricks, and then fading out of view. As the crack widens and lengthens infinitely, the distant mountains are effortlessly parted and slid obliquely into the crack.

"It will devour everything, and then divide the planet into two parts, left and right. "I froze in horror as I watched the catastrophe unfold in front of me. If the catastrophe were to occur on Earth, the sphere that had been split in two would not be able to generate gravity, and all human beings and surface structures would cease to exist, and then the hemisphere would repeatedly split and become unreliable space junk floating in the universe.

"What do you see?" the woman had escaped from the rope net and stood on the other side of the desk.

"A catastrophe of unbelievable magnitude – I don't believe it could happen on Earth, though. "I closed my eyes and tried to clear the shadow of disaster from my mind.

According to the study of the Earth by modern scientists, it is impossible to create a divisive force that can cause such damage. Even if there are frequent super earthquakes in the same direction on the earth, the vertical penetration of seismic waves will only be generated on the surface of the earth, and will not endanger the earth's core and make the earth lose its cohesion.

"If you saw your loved ones, everyone you knew alive in the catastrophe, and then one by one died in the abyss, would you still think that the catastrophe did not happen on Earth?" her voice reached my ears again, but it was then muffled by a thousand helpless wails.

When I opened my eyes, a huge and boundless square appeared in the red light, and countless people who were running in panic were huddled together like ants in a hot pot.

"Your loved ones are among them, and like everyone else, they will be thrown into the abyss by the invisible force that crushes the earth. Of course, perhaps before they fell into the abyss, they had already suffered a fate worse than death, that is, they had turned into unspeakable monsters, aliens that they could not bear. I can guarantee that when they see themselves in the mirror, they will not be able to hold back their nausea and vomit until their minds lose control and they kill themselves. Look, this is the fate of the earthlings, who inevitably fall into the dark abyss......"

She sneered bitterly, and reached for the cylinder in the red light, slowly covering the eight gems. The firelight and illusion disappeared, but before disappearing, I could instantly identify the five people running towards me in the square, namely Leng Xin, Xi Wei, Sikong Xingxing, Cai Xiaofo and the instructor.

"Wait—" I tried to raise my hand to stop her, but the red light was gone, and the golden cylinder landed in her arms.

"You've seen it, do you want to see something ten thousand times more bizarre than that? something that will drive you crazy, young man. She wrapped herself in the cylinder, reached for the gray glasses in the corner of the table, put them on in thought, and walked straight to the door.

"Where are you going?" I slid sharply in front of her, "you can't go anywhere until Shevie arrives." ”

Since she is a person in the research institute, she has the obligation to explain the facts clearly, instead of making up some weird plots to deceive people. I swore I had been struck by the visions, especially the panic on the faces of the five men who were running towards me, so real that I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

The remark that "the earth is about to be destroyed in a certain year in the 21st century" has been circulating for a long time, and various "great prophecies of the century" have also become the subject of intensive research in the allergy circles of various countries. Therefore, as long as people have a sense of distress, they will not sleep in this kind of hidden worry. The great destruction seen in the illusion is the last end of the earth, and when the sphere on which the earthlings live is completely **, no life will be spared.

"You're going to stop me? Life is precious, why don't you seize the limited time to do something more meaningful? I can see that every time you make a move, the left half of your body will show a considerable flaw, and no matter how much you try to make amends, it will not help. As you can imagine, you were injured by some kind of quenching knife at a young age, and the toxin seeped into the blood and lymphatic system, and it could not be eradicated for the rest of your life. Do it with me, you're dead. She stared at me, holding the Promethean Fire in one hand and pushing it to my chest with the other.

She was right, I did get the "Shura Blood Knife" from the Five Poisons Sect on the mainland, and until now, the toxin still stayed in an artificial hematoma under the left rib. The reason why the instructor trained me so strictly was that he wanted me to cover up my physical defects with several times the efforts of others.

"You can't go. "I blocked with one arm, and when the opponent's arm went around my forearm like a snake and hit my chest, half of my chest suddenly sunken down, sticking to her right palm with the Tai Chi school of "sucking" words.

I regret that I didn't call the police in time, otherwise the police car would have at least deterred her. A huge force rushed towards her head, and she strode forward, a powerful invisible qi swirling around her body, blowing into my face like a knife.

"Don't force me to do it, in fact, there is no need for violent conflicts between you and me, please ......" Gang Qi suddenly strengthened, pouring into my throat, forcing me to be unable to speak, I could only breathe into the dantian, firmly controlling her palm.

"Get out of the way!" she sneered, her palm against my chest swirling, and a spiral force erupted from my palm, forcing me to stride back.

I stared at her closely, gray lenses covering half of her face, the bridge of her nose and lips partly pale and lifeless, not like real human skin.

"Why are you pretending to be Miss Codge, she's so old and ugly, and you're still young. Don't look elsewhere, but look at the skin above the pipa bone, which is different in age and tenderness, and you can find your flaws in disguise. Miss Shelvie from the institute is coming soon, and maybe you can come up with a better reason to explain it to her. ”

This woman's disguise is very skillful, and we have been standing opposite each other for so long before we stumble upon her flaws.

She involuntarily turned around and looked at a plastic surgery mirror on the wall on the left, and it was obvious that my words had hit her to the point.

"You know a lot of things, do you know?" The strength of her palm suddenly increased tenfold, and she lifted me up in the air.

I wrapped my hands around her right arm in the word "wrapping", and the instructor repeatedly emphasized that once the Achilles heel of the opponent was discovered, it should be traced to the end until the opponent was defeated. A woman is very concerned about her appearance, whether she is sixteen or sixty years old, and she is no exception.

"Eventful people always die quickly, very early!" she shook her arm, and I just locked her arm firmly and let her wave it up and down, left and right, and it wouldn't fall off.

In fact, we all avoid talking about the question: "People who see the 'fire of Prometheus' will change, and it is not necessarily when it starts." "I don't want that tragic fate to happen for no reason, but the world is unpredictable, and there is no second choice but to fight the bad luck with all your might.

"Hey, die!" she yelled, spun around and kicked, slashing at my ribs.

A sharp pain in my heart came, and my left rib clicked twice, and at least two of them were immediately broken, and the dantian could not exert his strength, so he was forced to give up that palm. He rolled backwards until he reached the end of the hallway.

"No one can stand in my way, there will be no past, no present, and no future, because I am—death, pass, one, time, one, man. She warned me proudly, word by word, with a very gloomy expression. I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, but I have a clearer understanding of the contrast in strength between the two sides. She's right, neither the killer team from the "underworld" nor me is enough to stop her. Her martial arts and adaptability are not under the instructors, and she has deservedly entered the ranks of the world's first-rate masters.

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?" I didn't have time to get up when I heard Xiwei's concerned voice. It's just that I didn't have time to greet her at the moment, my throat choked three times in a row, and finally I couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, the broken rib hurt so badly that every breath would pull the wound.

"You...... How is it? Do you want to call an ambulance?" "When Sylvie arrived, she saw me, took out her handkerchief, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Don't call the police, don't call ...... Ambulance...... She had ...... in her arms Hidden is the 'Seal of the Gods', that is, the 'Fire of Prometheus'...... "With each word, the stinging pain of the wound intensified, and I felt the beads of sweat on my forehead merging into a salty stream, trickling down my neck. The other party's kick carried multiple forces, and while kicking and breaking my ribs, he also used a strong internal force to shock my internal organs, so the blood kept gushing out and couldn't be stopped.

Xiwei was really smart, and she didn't call the police recklessly, and lured Miz and the others over.

"He will not die, but he will fall into a worse state than death, because he has seen the 'fire of Prometheus' with his own eyes. Now, you'd better pray that he's as lucky as I am to try to shake off his strange form and return to the ranks of earthlings, well, it's time for us to say goodbye. ”

Kirchi staggered to the other end of the promenade, where a fire escape hung from under the window leading to the alley behind the institute.

"Miss Kirchi, what's wrong with your room, do you want me to clean it for you?" Xiwei bowed to Kirchi's back good-naturedly.

Kirchi raised his right hand and swung it, gradually picking up his pace.

"She's not Codge, she's a weirdo disguised as the old lady. Like me, she had once again been illuminated by the flames of the Prometheus Fire, but I believe she already had a way to overcome that mutation, so ...... I'll have to track her down until I figure it out...... The truth ...... "I reluctantly got up, pulled myself together, and chased towards the end of the corridor.

Sylvie followed me, knowing that she couldn't be my helper, but she still mustered up the courage to follow.

The woman went up to the windowsill, grabbed the handrail of the fire escape, looked at me again with disdain, and then jumped down. I chased to the window and saw her step out of the alley and run towards the motorcycle parked outside the courtyard.

I took out the phone, flipped through the number storage, and found Mitz's number, but hesitated for a few seconds and couldn't make a call. Once the police get involved, things will become extremely complicated, and the procedures are cumbersome, and everything must be evidenced, lawful, step by step, from the beginning to the end. Besides, the police will not be the opponent of the woman, and the faster the dispatch, the more serious the casualties.

"Who the hell is she, what are you doing disguised as Miss Codge?" Sylvie looked at the woman's distant back, her face full of confusion.

I thought of the row of huge freezers next to the data room, and my heart suddenly moved, could Xiwei's research topic be related to ancient creatures? The state of that beetle is similar to the paleontological fossils left by Leng Hannan before, could it be that the scientific and technological level of this research institute has reached the realm of resurrecting ancient creatures?

"What are you looking at?" Sylvie laughed, reaching out to put her arm around me, ready to walk back.

At the end of the number book, I decisively dialed a number named "Rose", and when the other party picked up the phone, I first reported to my home: "I am Chen Ying, Song Qiliang Chen Zhi's 'Chen', Qian'an Tieying's 'Eagle', please Miss Rose to answer the phone." ”

A girl's quiet and gentle voice sounded: "I am the rose, the eagle, what do you command?"

I explained the current situation in the most concise terms, and asked the other party to follow the woman, find out all her whereabouts, and draw a road map for me.

Rose simply responded, "Okay." ”

I was forced to activate this relationship as a last resort, but I had no better choice, Rose leads a high-level network across Africa, and is able to easily reach out to all the different industries, so that the tracked have nowhere to hide.

"Well, wait for your news. I hung up the phone with a wry smile and calmly met Xiwei's inquiring gaze, "No way, if some of the horrific rumors about the 'Prometheus Fire' are true, I probably don't have much time to waste." ”
