Chapter VII

The group hurried to the location written on the address, everyone got out of the car with all the equipment, Xu Ying walked in the front, Xu Wei and He Juan pulled the Nangong path in the middle, and Li Chongxu walked at the end with a gun and was ready to go.

The garage door was pulled up, and Xu Ying and his party entered the dark basement by the side. Xu Ying turned on the flashlight and groped all the way in, several people didn't dare to gasp, and there was dead silence in the dark.

After walking for a while, the flashlight shone on a corner, Xu Ying squatted down and touched the ground for a while, picked up a small piece of glass slag and threw it into the corner, making a crisp "dangchang" sound.

Then, in the corner, there was the faint sound of clothing scraping against the wall.

"Bang bang. ”

Someone quickly approached them.

Several people held their breath, Xu Ying pulled out a short dagger and slowly raised his arm.

The sound of rustling stopped in the corner, and they confronted them silently.

Caught off guard!

A figure suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and Xu Ying was a knife!

"Bell!"

The two daggers collided, rubbing shiny sparks in the darkness, and Xu Ying stepped forward, forcing the other party to retreat, while raising the flashlight to shine on his face.

As soon as he saw it clearly, Xu Ying was stunned, and hurriedly put down the short dagger, and the other party was also stunned by the bright light.

Xu Wei in the back had already taken out a gun to support Xu Ying, just turned the corner and saw that the two of them had not moved, they were standing there and didn't know what they were doing, he also stopped in a daze, but still held the gun.

The other party spoke first: "Xu, Xu team?" This person was also holding a military dagger, and when he saw Xu Ying also holding the same dagger, he judged that he was a peer in a second, and when he looked at his face, isn't this the captain of the criminal police?

"Aren't you Xiaofu?" Xu Ying was also surprised, "Why are you here?"

A false alarm, it's all their own people.

Fu Tianzhao said: "I'm here to find Xiaojun, we were supposed to act separately to catch some murderer, but I couldn't contact him after checking over there, so I simply came to find him, didn't this just bump into you." ”

"We couldn't contact him so we came over to see what was going on...... Xiaofu, did you find anything in there just now?"

"Oh yes, I just forgot about you. Fu Tianzhao scratched his head, "I just went and didn't see any other passages, only one was an anti-theft door with an electronic password lock, I tried for a long time and didn't open it, I listened to the door for a while and felt that there was no movement inside, I wondered if Xiaojun was somewhere else, so I walked out." ”

Xu Ying thought for a while and decided to go in and have a look.

A group of people followed to the combination lock at the end of the corner, Fu Tianzhao whispered to Xu Ying: "It's this lock, I tried all the combinations of Arabic numerals and English letters, and I used Chinese pinyin, and I couldn't open it." ”

Xu Ying put his hand against his chin and pondered. Suddenly, a thought came to him, and he stretched out his finger and pressed a few English letters.

R-A-I-N-L-E。 "RAINLE?" FU TIANZHAO READ OUT SUSPICIOUSLY, AND THEN HE SAW THE WORDS "PASSWORD CORRECT" POP UP ON THE ELECTRONIC SCREEN, LOOKED AT XU YING IN SURPRISE, AND ASKED, "HOW DO YOU KNOW?"

Xu Ying didn't answer, he pushed open the door, turned his head and motioned to a few people not to speak, several people dared not to speak, swallowed their saliva, and carefully looked in.

The room was large but damp, with an oil lamp lit on one wall, a faint orange-yellow light illuminating a small half of the floor, and more than half hidden in the darkness.

The eyes of several people were fixed inside, and all of them looked solemn.

I saw two chairs facing each other, with two people, one big and one small, tied to them.

"Xiaojun?Bai Mingming?" Xu Ying exclaimed tentatively. There was no response, and both men were unconscious. Xu Ying beckoned the rest of the people in, and the last Li Chongxu leaned against the door and held the door against it.

Facing the dead silence inside the room, several people couldn't see if there were people standing in the remaining half of the darkness, and they didn't dare to act rashly, or Xu Ying slowly moved behind Bai Mingming, who was leaning on their side, and cautiously untied the rope.

At this moment, a voice that was not in the darkness sounded gloomily: "You are finally here." ”

The voice suddenly let out a creepy laugh that echoed through the room for a long time, and everyone felt a chill down their spines.

"Who are you?" asked Team Xu, who untied the rope for a moment, fearing that something would go wrong, so he stopped moving the rope.

"Hmph. The voice was contemptuous, "You have no right to know who I am, at most you are here to die, anyway, everyone who enters this room will die, because I have a bomb in my hand, and if I want to, you will all die." ”

"But, before killing you, do you want to save these two people?"

"What do you want?" Xu Ying's voice was cold, and he secretly held the handle of the gun.

"What do I think, don't you know? Didn't the man tell you?" the voice added.

β€œ...... What?" Xu Ying said vigilantly.

"Oh?" the voice seemed surprised, and then said with amusement, "It seems that he hasn't told you yet, hahaha, I didn't expect it......"

β€œ...... What the hell are you talking about, what the hell do you want of us?" his mind spun as he nervously watched as a pale hand grabbed Xiaojun's shoulder on the other side.

"Hehe, it seems that he doesn't want to come out, so how about I add some stimulation?" As he spoke, the hand that was holding Xiaojun's shoulder tightened suddenly, and the five slender nails sank directly into the flesh, and slowly oozing blood.

"Stop, what are you doing!" Fu Tianzhao couldn't help but roar, he took out his index finger and squeezed it on the trigger, Xu Ying hurriedly pulled back his hand and shook his head.

"Hahahaha, he's going to be gouged out by me, if you dare to shoot me, I'll start the bomb!" the voice giggled frantically, and suddenly, a face emerged from behind the darkness.

It was a miserable white face, with crooked eyes and a crooked smile, and the corners of the mouth were cracked to the base of the ears, stiff and weird.

Apparently a mask.

Everyone was frightened into a cold sweat by this sudden "face". Then, the hand that only saw the face of the mask sank deeper and deeper into Xiaojun's left shoulder, and smashed it straight along the flesh, the sticky blood kept making a "poof, poof" water stain sound in his hand, and the people present turned their heads one after another, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, Fu Tianzhao's green muscles were all violent, and his whole body was trembling......

Nangong Xiaolu fainted, He Juan hurriedly squatted down to help her up, her own heart was thinking in a panic, how to save Xiaojun, what to do?

"Hahaha, I'm about to pull out his heart! look, look!" he excitedly pulled inside, and his voice was like a madman.

Just as everyone was thinking about what to do, the center of the room suddenly flickered, like a projection, and an object gradually appeared with the flickering.

If you look closely, it's a personβ€”

The boy stood motionless as if he had just woken up, scanning the crowd of people who were staring at him with wide eyes like hell, and finally at the masked face.

The eyes behind the mask seemed to be looking at the young man, and his voice was not surprised, as if he had been waiting for a long time:

"You're finally willing to show up. ”

He was no longer yin and yang, and his voice suddenly became cold.

β€œrainle。 ”

The man sneered, "Or, should I call you...... Nangong Xiaolu?"

!!

What did he say? The group of the task force looked at the boy who appeared out of thin air in shock, and then looked back at the unconscious girl.

The mask face laughed out loud, and his tone was sarcastic: "What? Is it your new interest to mingle with humans? Isn't it fun, um? It's so funny that you can't even confess your identity to them? Ah, when did you, a machine that kills people without blinking, even have such a thing as feelings? I see that you usually talk and laugh with these people, so I really didn't see that it was you before, and it has become too much, right?"

He spoke slowly like an old friend meeting and catching up, and as he approached the boy, he stopped at the edge of the darkness. He spoke in an inviting tone: "Come back, this is your home, you are not a human being, even if you live like a scholar, you are still an alien after all, look at them, the expression after knowing the truth, fear, fear...... Do you think they'll still accept you?"

The boy looked at him in silence, without a trace of expression.

"How? do I have a point, Rainle?" he smiled behind his mask and held out his blood-stained hand.

"Come with me, it's all your kind over there, and that's where you should be. He spoke almost softly, and his voice was seductive.

The boy looked at him and said without emotion: "They are replicas and reconstructions, they lack the magnet data maximization brought by the hidden code, and they are not equally lethal, they are not my kind." ”

"Hmph. Is that why you want to be in the company of humans? The masked man said gloomily, grabbing Xiaojun again and digging straight to his heart.

Small sparks burst out of the darkness, a stick against the masked man's abdomen, and then a hand slammed into the wrist stretched out to his chest, and a black shadow was thrown out of the darkness, and the masked face fell to the ground on its back, cracking a crack, revealing a surprised eye.

The man in the chair fell over the shoulder, grabbed the unsuspecting masked man with his backhand, and pressed him firmly to the ground.

It's all in the light!

Xu Ying was the first to recover from the shock, flew forward and put a gun against the masked man's head, took out the handcuffs with one hand and quickly "clicked" to restrain him.

Xiaojun's shoulder was bloody, and he took the bomb from the masked man's waist with one hand, threw it aside, and then walked behind Bai Mingming, who was still unconscious, to untie the rope.

"Come with us. Xu Ying said coldly.

The man who was restrained and pinned to the ground laughed instead.

"You don't think that's the end of it, do you?" he surveyed.

"So, what do you want to say. Xu Ying asked.

He pulled out a weird smile and said slowly: "Look at the person next to you, that girl, she is not human at all, it is not over...... As long as the rainlechen code still exists, and the rainle is not destroyed, all this will not end, giggle......" The hair-raising laughter sounded again, and everyone looked solemn and did not say a word.

He suddenly raised his head, stared at the young man's face, and said in a ghostly and gloomy voice: "Don't forget what I said, you belong here after all, and you will come back, I know...... rainle。 ”

Then he tilted his head and fell limply. Xu Ying pulled off his miserable white mask, and saw that his face under the mask gradually turned purple, his eyes rolled up, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with white foam.

Stretch out his mouth and sniff, it's poison. Xu Ying thought hatefully, he couldn't get any information out of his mouth, damn it......

But. He turned his head to look to the side, but all that was left was an empty field, and the boy was gone.

He looked at Nangong Xiaolu, who was still unconscious, with complexity.

Xu Wei carried Bai Mingming on his back, He Juan hugged Nangong Xiaolu, Fu Tianzhao supported the semi-unconscious Xiaojun, and several people walked out, Xu Ying finally checked the room again, and after finding that there were no extra clues, he returned to the garage with a little disappointment.

Along the way, several people did not speak.

Xiaojun's injury was serious, He Juan took out a spare medicine box and helped him bandage it in the car, injuring his muscles and ligaments, and a series of shocking scratches were left on his left chest, He Juan couldn't help but palpitate: What kind of finger is this, actually cutting through human flesh and blood!

"Dr. Xu. She broke the silence and asked, "Could that man's hands be on a machine?"

Xu Wei thought for a while: "This is not clear, I can't see it clearly after such a distance, but it is certain that the person must have done something to himself, and your conjecture is also possible." ”

Fu Tianzhao looked at the few of them, from the time the strange young man in the room appeared until now, his mouth had not been closed, he felt more and more that he had stepped into a mysterious pit, knowing something that he should not know, a gust of wind blew behind him, and he shivered.

"Xiaofu. Xu Ying said to him.

"Ah, Team Xu, what's wrong?" Fu Tianzhao hurriedly reacted.

Xu Ying pondered for a moment before continuing: "Actually, I didn't send Xiaojun to arrest any murderer, several of us are members of the task force of a case, and this case involves some inexplicable things, and we have been looking for clues everywhere in the past few months, but unfortunately there is no progress...... Originally, this matter was only known to the task force, but this time I was bumped into by you, so I have a suggestion that I don't know if you want to hear it. ”

"Do you want me to join the task force? "Fu Tianzhao knew what Xu Ying was going to say, so he agreed and hurt my brother's arm, how could I stand by and watch?

"Then I'll thank you in advance, if you go back and solve this case, you will definitely ask your director to invite you to take credit. Xu Ying smiled and said.

After arriving at the Public Security Bureau, after Fu Tianzhao returned to the team, several members of the special case team continued to rush back to Shanghai.

On the way, it rained, and when I returned to Shanghai, the rain became heavier and heavier, and several people got out of the car, ran back to the bureau with their clothes covered on their heads, and all of them were drenched in soup in just a few steps.

Xu Wei said that he would go back to his research institute, explained a few words and left in a hurry, and the rest of the people were worried about everything, and they were not in the mood to speak, so they made a bowl of instant noodles and ate it with their heads bored.

At night, Bai Mingming's family ran over to pick up the child home, and the parents cried so much that they cried a handful of snot and tears, and when they saw Bai Mingming, they hugged and stuffed it into their arms, while thanking the police for saving their child.

Mingming's father asked, "Comrade policeman, what time was you kidnapped?"

"We're still investigating. Li Chongxu replied.

"Where are you kidnapped?"

"Nanjing. ”

"Ahh

"I'm sorry, this kidnapping case involves another criminal case, and the case has not been solved at present, so it is inconvenient for us to disclose it. ”

"What? The prisoner hasn't been caught yet?" Mingming's mother almost fainted when she heard this, Mingming's father hurriedly supported her, and he said to Li Chongxu: "Then please solve the case as soon as possible, and the prisoner must be brought to justice." ”

"Rest assured, this is our duty. Li Chongxu sent off a family of three, sighed, and returned to the office.

Nangong Xiaolu woke up, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Ying, He Juan and Li Chongxu looking at her strangely, and she suddenly understood everything in her heart, and for a moment she only felt that it was difficult to speak.

Nangong Xiaolu sat up from the sofa, and for the first time sat down a little formally, pursing his lips and not knowing what to say.

He Juan opened his mouth and said, "Xiaolu, why did you wake up, are you hungry?"

Nangong Xiaolu was stunned for a moment and nodded: "I'm hungry." ”

"Go make a bowl of noodles, Team Xu. He Juan said to Xu Ying.

"You know to call me this old bone. Xu Ying complained and left the room to make hot noodles next door.

"That ......" Nangong Xiaolu wanted to say something, but as soon as she spoke, Li Chongxu interrupted with a smile: "You don't have to say anything now, let's talk about it when we have dinner." ”

Alas...... All right. Her heart sank.

"Where's Bai Mingming?" she asked.

"Don't worry, he was picked up by his family. Xu Ying walked in, took a bowl of instant noodles, and put it on the table in front of her, "Eat it while it's hot." ”

Nangong Xiaolu devoured it like he had been hungry for a few days, and "sucked and sucked" a bowl of instant noodles to the bottom, and when the last noodle was sucked into his mouth, the four of them began to ask serious questions.

Team Xu spoke directly: "Say, what are you hiding from us." ”
