Bai Ming had a nightmare, he dreamed that he was cut in half from top to bottom like a chopping firewood, and then he saw his body gradually melt and turn into a puddle of water, and then the man with the knife began to laugh wildly, and the voice became louder and louder......

He was woken up by a burst of laughter, rubbed his eyes and got up from his desk, and saw several girls in the class playing Monopoly together, I don't know who lost, and the people around him laughed loudly.

He looked sideways at the desk next to him, which was empty, except for the two kittens that had been carved on it with a knife a year ago, one with angry eyes and a cross-legged waist calling for something, and the other lying on his stomach and being hit by the spitting saliva.

The carving is vivid, the dragon is alive, and the owner of the portrayal is gone.

Bai Mingming knew that the two kittens were herself and her, she often relied on the fact that she was a girl, and she was unforgiving to herself, and he couldn't really beat her, after all, he was a boy, and a good man didn't fight with a woman.

Just a year ago, a few days after he was kidnapped by a mysterious man, a policeman walked into the classroom where he was attending classes and took all the things in Nangong Xiaolu out of his pocket, and after that, Bai Mingming never saw Nangong Xiaolu again.

Later, when he asked the class teacher one day, the answer he got was two simple words: drop out.

After school, he walked along the small dilapidated house where he had lived on Nangong Trail before, and the moss had crawled all over the wall, and a homeless man had used the dilapidated house as his new nest, and the ground was covered with a stinking black cloth.

Yes...... This stinky fart, who often bullies himself, can use his hands and never move his mouth, and doesn't look like a girl, suddenly disappeared without a sound?

It's a little sad......

No matter how much she bullied herself, she could barely be counted as a friend, and she should tell herself if she wanted to quit school.

Obviously, I still want to invite her to my house to play, and I also want to show her the toys in my collection.

Still want to ...... Make her feel like she's not alone.

"If I know where she is, will you follow her to her?"

A voice sounded in his ears, low and hoarse.

"Who?" Bai Mingming turned his head and saw a man wearing a mask, dressed in black, whose eyes behind the mask burned his heart.

"Hello, Bai Mingming, I am a friend of Nangong Xiaolu. The man's voice was full of laughter, and on the miserable white mask, the thin eyes were bent into two crescents, and the corners of the bright red mouth were grinning, pulling at the roots of the ears on both sides.

What a suspicious dress...... Bai Mingming instinctively took a few steps back, wanting to turn around and leave, but heard the mask man speak behind his back: "Don't you really plan to meet your good friend?" Nangong Xiaolu is at my house. ”

"Who, who is going to believe you. "Bai Mingming turned his head to look at the crazy mask, a fool will follow you.

"yes—it looks like I'm going to have to show you my sincerity. The man took off his mask, revealing his true face, a face as pale as the mask, but his eyebrows were clear, and he was unexpectedly handsome, Bai Mingming took a closer look, wasn't this the brother of Nangong Xiaolu he saw a year ago?

"You, you're the ...... The guy who invited me to eat KFC ......" Bai Mingming pointed at him in surprise and said.

"You remember. The man smiled and said, "I'm also half of the guardian of Xiaolu, how about it?

"Hmm...... So, do you really know where she is, why did she drop out of school in the first place?" Bai Mingming asked, he still had a good impression of this big brother.

"This, you have to ask her yourself, I was also pestered by her to death, so I had to agree to her drop out of school. The man lowered his head and leaned over to him, "Do you want to come to the house to play? ”

"However, my dad said he was coming to pick me up at noon...... he hesitated.

"It's okay, you can call your dad and say it, so he can rest assured. ”

Bai Mingming finally dialed the phone, and his father didn't have any suspicions when he learned that he was going to Xiaolu's brother's house to play, after all, Xiaolu was very familiar with their family, and finally asked Bai Mingming not to bully Xiaolu, and then hung up the phone.

My dad agreed. Bai Mingming said to the man, "Then I'll go with you." ”

"Well, you'll see the trail later. The man put on his mask again and pulled Bai Mingming to the car parked on the side of the road not far away.

"Why are you wearing a mask?" asked Bai Mingming, getting into the car.

The man replied, "Because I'm a criminal police officer and I'm on a secret mission right now, I have to put on a mask to act for insurance." ”

Bai Mingming looked at the side face of the masked man in disbelief, it stands to reason that he has seen the real face under this mask, Nangong Xiaolu is indeed very familiar with him, and he also thinks that this big brother is a good person.

But his heart was always beating "suddenly", as if he had a premonition that something bad was wrong, but ...... What's wrong?

Inexplicably, an idea popped into his mind.

- Have you seen that miserable white mask anywhere?

The car drove all the way to the gate of the downtown mall, and the masked man walked into the elevator on the first floor of the gate with Bai Mingming, he pressed the second floor, and with the slight buzz in the elevator, the door slowly opened.

Different from the lively and lively atmosphere of the shopping mall, the second basement floor was filled with bursts of cold air, and Bai Mingming couldn't help but shiver.

He couldn't help but ask, "Is this really ...... Your home?"

Why doesn't it look like it?

"Don't worry, you won't suspect me of abducting you, will you?" the masked man turned his head, his voice relaxed.

"But will Xiaolu stay in the basement?" he said.

"It's really not strange for low-level workers in big cities to live in basements, but families like you must not know. As he spoke, he walked to a wall, put his hand on the place where his eyebrows were raised, pressed the handprint, and only heard the mechanical sound of "ding", and the whole wall slowly moved open from the middle like an automatic door, revealing the space on the other side of the wall.

Bai Mingming was stunned, he saw that inside the open wall was a wide passage, glowing with green light, and there were mechanized devices on all sides, like an experimental base.

By the time Bai Mingming finally felt that this didn't feel like a resident's home, he had already stepped into the passage with two feet, and the wall behind him slowly closed.

The masked man walked to the end of the passage and put his palm on the electronic lock at the end again.

"The initial identification of DNA was successful. The sound of a mechanical tablet came from the electronic lock, and he turned his eyes to the recognizer.

"Recognition successful. ”

The metal door clicked and opened.

The man took off the mask, turned his head to Bai Mingming and said with a smile, "Don't be stunned, the path is inside." ”

Bai Mingming swallowed his saliva and boldly walked into the metal door.

It was a huge space, filled with electronic devices, electronic screens, and strange devices he didn't recognize.

"Welcome to my 'home', Bai Mingming. The corners of his mouth hooked, "No, I should call you, my dear experimenter." ”

"What are you talking about?" Bai Mingming leaned against the door, he wanted to get out of here, but the only door was locked.

Suddenly, he saw a man walk out from the other side of the experimental base, the light shining only on the half of the man's body, a thin figure, black trousers tucked high around his waist, a tie hanging down from his white shirt, and a British preppy dress.

"Oh yes. Noticing Bai Mingming's gaze, the man happily piled him up and said, "Your good friend is here, aren't you going to play with him?" ”

Bai Mingming looked at the person who gradually appeared in the light, and the light and shadow kept alternating on his body.

At last, he saw the man's face—a handsome and pale young man, with an emotionless face and eyes that were extremely cold.

He is not Nangong Xiaolu.

Bai Ming looked at the masked man, the man had already taken off the mask, and that face was obviously the kind big brother at that time, but why......

"What's the matter, aren't you happy to see Xiaolu? Could it be that you haven't seen each other for a year, and you can't speak with excitement?" the man looked puzzled.

He ...... He is not Nangong Xiaolu, you lied to me. Bai Mingming was in a hurry.

The man was slightly surprised: "How could it not be? It's obviously the same person, classmate Bai Mingming, you won't know your old friend, right?" He walked over and put his hands on the young man's shoulders, "Xiaolu will be sad." ”

"What are you talking about, he's a boy......" Bai Mingming was dumbfounded, and pointed at the boy in a daze.

"Hahahahaha

Suddenly, a sharp laugh erupted on the man's back, and after a silence, he slowly lowered his head and said gloomily: "Yes, he is a boy, Nangong Xiaolu was originally a boy...... You've been deceived, my lovely Bai Mingming-san. ”

Bai Mingming's eyes widened, his mind was in a mess, what was he talking about?

Nangong Xiaolu is a boy? All along, the person who has sat at the same table with him for five years is a boy?!

No! No, no! he looked at the cold and emotionless teenager in front of him. No, trail ...... That's not true.

"Why don't you accept the reality, Bai Mingming. The man walked over step by step, and said, "The little girl at the same table who gets along with you day and night is just a virtual existence, the real entity is the young man you see now, this is the true identity of Nangong Xiaolu, understand?"

Bai Mingming's brain stopped thinking, he stared blankly at the man stopping in front of him, and took out a syringe from behind him with a smile......

The man picked up the sleeping Bai Mingming, placed him on a chair, turned around and raised his hand, only to see that the originally handsome face was gradually deformed, the skin on his face was unbelievably torn downward, and a thin piece of human skin grabbed his hand.

The man's appearance transformed into a miserable white and strange face, with deep sunken eye sockets and a high nose bridge, he was an Englishman.

"Then ...... next," he said to the boy next to him with a twisted smile on his lips, "it's time for us to work together, Rainle." ”

.

All day long, the Shanghai Public Security Department was busy checking the source of a strange code that had inexplicably appeared in the internal database, and the director of the department was furious: "The confidential database has so many layers of protective passwords, how can it be easily hacked? How do you usually guard it? Where do you put the policeman's face? Ah? Are they silent? Are they all dumb?"

"Director, I have asked several police officers who are in charge of guarding the materials, and it is true that they are not careless. The director of the intelligence department wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued, "The method used to hack the system is not an ordinary hacker, maybe it's a master......" He saw that his leader was stunned, and hurriedly changed his words: "We will definitely find out about this matter, and you can rest assured if you leave it to me!"

The commissioner fled the office amid the leader's angry shouts of "limit you to find out within a week", and as soon as he went out, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Xiao Li, are you busy now?" I want to borrow a ...... from you."

In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Ying and his boss rushed to the provincial hall, and when the director saw Xu Ying, he was almost in tears as if he had seen his own son, and he grabbed the hand of this subordinate.

"What's wrong?what's wrong?" Xu Ying was confused, and was puzzled by her boss's move.

"Come in and say, come in and say. He pushed the two into his office.

Sitting on the sofa, the director crossed his hands and lowered his head, pondered for a while, and said to Xu Ying: "Xiao Xu, there is something I want you to see." As he spoke, he inserted a USB flash drive into his laptop, and rows of data were arranged on the screen like an assembly line, Xu Ying looked at these "alien texts", and his braincase was a little big.

The Commissioner doesn't expect me to understand, does he?

Then the Commissioner said a word to him, causing his pupils to shrink instantly.

"Xiao Xu, this is an unfamiliar code found in our system's database today, and an unknown intruder named it 'rainlechen'. ”

Xu Ying stood up excitedly, startling the director next to him.

The director continued: "I remember not saying that I heard you say that you set up a task force, it seems to be related to this code, and now I don't know who passed it on to us, I think you should know some inside information, no, I specifically ask you to help take a look." ”

The director was betrayed, and silently glanced at the director in his heart.

Xu Ying doesn't have time to care who passed it on now, his mind is full of this code, and everything that happened a year ago is vivid.

Murder case. One by one, in the end, even the closest subordinates were almost buried in this series of events. This year, he investigated almost all the people who were involved in hiding in the city, and finally found a clue one day, but he was suddenly forced to withdraw the case......

In this matter, he was already deeply affected and almost gave up, but at this time he grabbed the hidden black hand again. He clenched his trembling fingers and asked, "Can you tell us more about the specifics, such as what is the source of the transmission of this code, and when was it sent?"

"Alas, this source is hard to find, unless we also have a master hacker here, otherwise we non-professional people can't figure it out at all. The Commissioner looked embarrassed.

Xu Ying lowered her brows: "If I say that this matter is very involved, and even the truth may surprise you, are you still willing to listen?"

The director knew what he was going to say and glanced at him, but Xu Ying didn't see it.

When the director saw that his expression was wrong, he became a little interested: "Oh, is there anything unusual behind this matter?"

"Actually, I suspect that there is a secret base in this city that is doing illegal experiments, and it is likely to involve human lives, but there is no effective evidence to prove it yet, but this code is really dangerous, if there is any movement next, you must notify me in time." Xu Yingdao.

"Speaking of which, what kind of case is the case you have been investigating before? It doesn't seem simple, could it be that there are any international criminals involved?" The director didn't care about an inexplicable code, but now looking at Xu Ying's expression, he already realized that something was wrong. It's over, if this matter involves too much, how can I explain it to the above......

"To be honest, my guess at the moment is that the worst case is already a transnational case. Xu Ying's words struck the commissioner's heart, confirming his conjecture, but it was far beyond his conjecture.

The director pinched a handful of sweat beside him, why did this kid say everything in one go.

I only heard Xu Ying continue: "But at present, I have not grasped the specific den of the criminal, and further investigation is needed, so I hope to ......" He said halfway and smiled at the leader.

"Xiao Xu. The chief said to him, "Are you sure this rainlechen has such a big inside story? If it is confirmed, I can report this matter to the army command to solve it." ”

The director interjected: "This, it's not necessary. ”

"It's not transnational. "The subtext is that we people from the little Public Security Bureau don't wade into this troubled water.

Xu Ying grinded his chin and spoke: "Director, please leave it to me." ”

.

"I'm going to set up a task force again? I'll say it first, this is the director personally telling you to handle this case, if there is any more death in the city......

Xu Ying interrupted the director: "Don't worry, it's definitely not your improper command, our task force will do it." ”

The director patted him on the shoulder and left.

In this reorganization of the task force, a veteran cadre appointed by the department has been added to show its importance.

When Huang Yan first joined and learned the content of the case a year ago, his jaw was so shocked that his jaw almost fell exactly the same as the rest of the task force at the beginning. What code is anthropomorphic human body, a human experiment that turns human organs into data, he was stunned for a long time before accepting reality.

Xu Wei, as the only computer expert, took on the task of querying the culprit of the intrusion database, and after a whole day, he finally showed a smug smile.

"It's hidden enough, but I've found it. He laughs.

Several people gathered around to listen to the doctor's words: "The place where the letter was sent is in the area of the suburban household. ”

Several people are ready to go and move towards their destination. Before leaving, Xu Wei turned back to his research institute, holding a big box like a baby, and said, "I almost forgot about it." ”

"What is this? It looks heavy. He Juan asked.

Xu Wei smiled mysteriously: "Secret weapon." ”

The community needs to be authenticated, and several people successfully entered through the police identity, but things did not go as smoothly as they thought, the house was empty, but it was not moving, and the things were placed very casually, as if they had left home not long ago.

Xu Ying looked around and concluded: "A few people ran away, as expected, for fear of being discovered." ”

"But we don't know where we're going to go?"

yes, the clue is broken again. Several people rushed over and returned dejectedly.

On the way, Huang Yan, a veteran cadre from the hall, asked: "Team Xu, you have found clues about this organization before, are you really abroad?"

Xu Ying looked at his disbelieving eyes, and he didn't intend to hide it: "When Xiao Fu went to Li Qi's house to rummage for clues before, he found several documents, and the seals and grammar on them, including the names mentioned, belonged to English characters. ”

"But. His tone changed, and he was very serious, "It's not an ordinary document, look at the seal is the seal of the national defense army." ”

Huang Yan's heart sank.

This is no longer a simple criminal case, no wonder they were asked to drop the case in the first place.

But now that it has risen to the level of hacking into the intelligence bureau of the provincial department, it can no longer sit idly by.

But why is it involved in foreign militaries? It's beyond the reach of these little policemen.

"Is there really no need to report to the central government?" asked Huang Yan nervously.

"The point is that there is no evidence that this document is related to the hacking database, and if it is rashly alarmed by the central government, it will have a very bad impact. Xu Ying gritted her teeth in annoyance.

He felt that he had been being toyed with and applauded by this mysterious organization since a year ago, and this shame made him very irritated.

Without any clue, the case has reached an impasse, and now we only have to wait for the approval of the application to leave the country, so that we can successfully contact the British police, and maybe find a new breakthrough.

But the approval was delayed, several people were anxious, and a new disappearance case fell on Xu Ying's head.

"Cases like missing children should be handed over to the second team, how can we manage these now?" Huang Yan rubbed his forehead, this case has not been settled for a day, he will not be able to return to the hall for a day, and the leaders will make fun of him when the time comes.

Li Chongxu helplessly looked at the captain outside who was talking to people, and said: "No way, this family was kidnapped a year ago to find us, and now it is missing again, and the first reaction is to designate a few of us to deal with it." ”

The child trafficking incident a year ago has ended with the continuous arrest of the remnants of the rainle case, and it has been subsided for so long, and now there are a few more disappearances in fragments, but the investigation is just an ordinary abduction, and it has nothing to do with that organization.

Team Xu returned to the office with a heavy heart, and said to a few people: "Bai Mingming is missing. He picked up a cigarette and was about to light it, but he realized that he shouldn't smoke it in the office and immediately took it back.

Those who are familiar with him know that Team Xu is worried again.

Obviously, his parents were so anxious that they almost knelt down for him, the child disappeared inexplicably twice, less than a year before and after, who can stand it? The kidnapping a year ago was related to Nangong Xiaolu, and this time he was missing, so Xu Ying would inevitably think in the same direction.

Nangong Xiaolu is no longer in school, and there is no reason to blackmail her classmates...... Xu Ying didn't want to handle the case by feeling, but his intuition strongly guided him, and if this disappearance case was investigated, it might be a breakthrough.

Only Huang Yan, who had just joined the task force, did not know about this matter, and Li Chongxu told him: "In the case a year ago, this Bai Mingming was also involved, and Nangong Xiaolu was his good friend. ”

"Ah, that's the code you guys are talking about...... What virtual personality?" Huang Yan asked.

"Yes, but she's been missing for a whole year. Xu Wei said.

"But will Bai Mingming's disappearance be related to the current case?" Huang Yan asked again.

"I don't know, but I have to look it up. Xu Ying said. Later, several people watched the replay video of the day of the disappearance, and when they walked to the intersection, Bai Mingming was talking face-to-face with a very suspicious man.

It was a man wearing a mask, his elongated eyes narrowed and his mouth pulled out with a strange smile......

All the horrific memories of the small room behind the underground warehouse a year ago flooded into their minds, and several people suddenly got goosebumps.

Then they saw the masked man unmask, revealing a familiar face. Everyone was stunned in surprise, and even more than everyone else was Xiaojun with an incredible face, wasn't that his own face?!

"*!, that masked man isn't dead?" Fu Tianzhao shouted, "I was obviously not breathing at the time, how could I ......?"

Resurrection from the dead? Or is it a trick? Several people looked at each other.

Following his car, they saw him take Bai Mingming into the downtown mall and never came out.

Everyone gasped, and Xiaojun spoke at this time: "You have all seen it, I have been staying in the police station, and Tianzhao and Li Chongxu can testify to me." ”

"yes, he's never been anywhere, the masked man must be impersonating. Fu Tianzhao hurriedly defended his buddy.

The question is how he knows what Xiaojun looks like, and whether he is the person who committed suicide by taking poison that he saw with his own eyes before. He Juan said.

"Let's be honest, I'm no longer surprised by any oddities since I learned that data code can become human. Huang Yan said.

"Let's go, let's go to the mall, and all the mysteries will be revealed. Xu Ying finally decided.

The shopping mall in the center of the city covers a large area, whether it is day or night, it is always lively, and it is crowded with people on weekends, no one would have thought that the underground of this mall is completely different and cold, hiding a terrifying and shocking conspiracy.

When the task force reached the first floor, they unanimously agreed that they should start from the basement, but the staff said that the underground was not under their control, and someone else had contracted it, which aroused their suspicions even more.

It's impossible for the masked man to take Bai Mingming to the mall, except for the basement, there is no other suspicious place. Xu Ying didn't know if he deliberately wanted to lead this matter to the rainlechen code case, maybe he was too nervous, maybe it was just a general contractor's basement in the end?......

He followed the elevator to the second basement floor in a panic, and a few pairs of shoe soles stepped on the empty basement, making a crisp sound of "cluck, cluck", just like the mood of several people at this time.

They walked around the basement several times, and there was nothing suspicious except for a larger place. Could they be wrong? There is no extra passage in this basement, everything is like a normal basement.

Just when Xu Ying began to wonder if he was really too nervous, the elevator door behind him opened, and several people leaned against the wall and looked around the corner, only to see two people walking towards this side one after the other, as if they were familiar with the road.

The two men looked young, in their twenties and thirties, and one of them was carrying a medium suitcase and was about to meet with several members of the task force.

Just as they were hesitating to step forward and ask for directions, Xu Ying stopped them nervously, and several people quietly followed the two of them under the cover of darkness, all the way to the end of the basement that had turned a few times before. The two stopped in front of a wall and heard one of them say, "Here we are, right in here." ”

He paused, tilted his head slightly, and spoke again: "No, it seems that there are other people here." ”

was discovered. Xu Ying pondered for a few seconds, if he didn't come out at this time, he wouldn't be able to move forward, and if the other party left like this, he would also get nothing.

He walked out slowly, followed by the task force.

Beiyuan poked Qin Fan and motioned him to look back, only to find that there were several unknown people hiding here, the task force was not wearing police uniforms, and the two stood in place and stared at them vigilantly.

These people were sneaky, as if they were sneaking around looking for something, Qin Fan didn't feel like ordinary people who were wandering around or trespassing by mistake, and whoever was hanging out would wander into the dark basement.

Beiyuan gave Qin Fan a look, and first asked a few people in the task force: "Did you forget to take something here?" Or do you want to visit here?"

"Well, no. How can there be a feeling of breaking into someone else's house by mistake, hesitated for a moment, Xu Ying quickly adjusted, he turned out the police card and said truthfully: "Several of us are policemen, we received a report from an informant that a child is missing, just in this area, I didn't find it after looking for a few laps, it's strange......"

"I don't know if you have seen any suspicious people lately, such as abducting children or something. Xiaojun also spoke.

The two looked at each other and said to them, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it, are there anything else that the officers have to do?"

This is clearly to let them leave, Xu Ying said: "It seems that the two of you come here often, but this place is so empty, what can you do here?"

Qin Fan's tone became cold: "This has nothing to do with you. ”

Xu Ying didn't seem to be planning to leave, the task force was pestle there like a few wooden stakes, the two of them didn't move, and the few of them didn't plan to move.

Grass. Qin Fan rolled his eyes in his heart. Then he thought about it, how did it feel like they were waiting for him to press on some mechanism......

Don't...... What they passed on to the police before, but they couldn't have traced it here, right?

Although he wanted to expose the organization to the police, he didn't want to pull himself in, so how could he get rid of it? He thought, slowly pressing his palm against a wall at the height of his eyebrows.

Kitahara watched him open the mechanism in front of the police, and felt a strange feeling, did he want to expose himself to the police? What a strange person......

"A few police officers, please come in, this is what you want, right?" Qin Fan looked at Xu Ying and their expressions that were not very surprised, he had already guessed their true purpose, and without any explanation, he led the task force into the slowly open wall.

Several members of the task force looked at the high-tech channel like a movie special effect in novelty, and they knew that this thing couldn't do it with the current level of technology, it was like a fantasy.

"Are you one of the people who study Rainle?" Approaching the end of the passage, Xu Ying couldn't help but ask.

Kitahara was side by side with him, and then he smiled slightly: "That's okay, but officer, it's not just a small branch of this organization that you have tracked down that is researching this technology." ”

Xu Wei's eyes widened, oh my God, as a national-level expert in the field of computers, he didn't know anything all these years, and this organization has quietly taken root......
