CHAPTER XIII
A few "black men" crawled out of the coke, covered in the smell of burning, as if rolling out of a coal pile, and could not tell who was who. The few people who had survived the death let out a sigh of relief, and when they regained their composure, they showed a trace of sadness. When he came out, there was one man missing......
He Juan hurriedly spoke: "There is a child there, I saw it with my own eyes, his face is covered, but is that ......?"
"I can't be sure, but it's very likely, no matter what, he's already ......" Xu Ying couldn't continue.
After being silent for a while, Xiaojun said, "And Rainle hasn't come out yet, I don't know if he will be blown up." ”
"yes. Xu Ying abruptly. The mall was blown up, and the residual temperature had not yet passed, and they had no way to re-enter it at this time, so they could only guess.
After a while, fire trucks arrived one after another, and it took more than an hour to extinguish the fire. The members of the task force returned to the bureau with a heavy heart, and the Kitahara and the British men were held separately and interrogated separately by the members of the task force.
"Tell me what your name is. Xiaojun sat across from the Englishman, turning his pen in one hand.
"Would you believe me if I made up a random name?" said the man.
"What did you do to that kid in the lab?" he asked again.
"As you can see, I just deciphered a code. The man spread his hands.
Xiaojun changed the question: "A year ago, how did you survive?"
"Didn't I kill myself by poisoning myself at that time? You've all tested it, and you're dead thoroughly. ”
"You're trying to say that you have an immortal body?" Xiaojun joked with interest.
The man looked at Xiaojun with pity, leaned close to the table, and said mysteriously, "That's right, I have the magic to bring the dead back to life. ”
The interrogation room was silent for a moment, and Xiaojun spoke, "I see that you have the magic to become a psychopath. ”
The man smiled: "Don't say that, in fact, you and I are the same kind of people." ”
"I'm with you?" Xiaojun pointed to himself, "How is it possible, I'm not a crazy person who jokes about human life. ”
"That's because you don't know yourself. His deep gaze was like a black hole, firmly fixed on Xiaojun's face.
He felt very uncomfortable, the black hole seemed to suck him away, his mind seemed to be pinched, and he couldn't move.
When interrogating a prisoner, the most fearful thing is that the interrogator will be led out of rhythm, but generally this situation will not occur, unless the prisoner himself has no sense of guilt, and has an extraordinary psychological quality, and his heart is terrifyingly calm.
"Do you know why I'm disguised as your face?" he stared at the person in front of him, "because I want you to switch from the surveillance footage to a third perspective and see yourself for who you really are." ”
This man didn't give Xiaojun a chance to escape, he was like a poisonous snake waiting for the right time, hiding in the grass and waiting for the opportunity to move.
"To be honest, when you are undercover, you are actually very relaxed when you hang out with criminals, right? It's like coming home, with no discipline and no bottom line, trampling on humanity to the bottom, isn't that a cool feeling?
"I've been in the secret service for more than ten years and have made a lot of contributions, but you're still stuck in this position, in fact, part of it is that you don't want to leave, right?
The man pinched Xiaojun's thoughts and gradually controlled his sensitive points.
"You don't want to admit that it's normal, after all, you always trap yourself with all kinds of rules and regulations, hypnotize yourself into a hero in the hearts of the people, and bind your sense of morality and honor...... But the real self in your heart is cruelly dismembered, you don't want to listen to that real voice, it is crying, crying in your heart.
"That's what you're running away from, you listen, your innermost voice.
"What do you really want?"
No matter how vigilant the prey is, the hard shell will always reveal cracks for a moment, and then it will fall apart like a clay pot.
"I'll tell you. His eyes were heavy, like countless ethereal bubbles, floating and locking his prey, "You like to be an undercover agent, you like the feeling of not being restrained, the days of licking blood from the knife, the excitement, the madness, the viciousness...... Did you experience it while sitting in your office in a police uniform?
...... Don't you like this kind of life?
His voice was full of bewilderment, and he quietly spit out the poison core: "Do you want to ...... Do you want to liberate your inner self?"
The body of the man in front of him gradually trembled, as if his soul had been taken out, and the dark side of his heart was nakedly shown to himself, and the person sitting opposite him was not the interrogator, but became himself, another dark self.
His last line of defense was broken.
The dark self was smiling evilly, and said to him in a gentle voice:
"You're finally willing to face me. ”
"Come on, dear fellows, let them turn off their listeners and we'll talk alone. The other self switched to the face of an Englishman, slowly inducing.
Walking out of the interrogation room, he was greeted by a confused Xu team, he grabbed Xiaojun and asked, "How is it? Why did you talk for so long, why did you turn off the surveillance just now?"
Xu Ying carefully observed Xiaojun's expression, afraid that something would happen in the room they didn't know, but at the same time, she wondered what the British man had talked to him alone.
Xiaojun didn't answer his question, raised his head and said to Xu Ying, "I know the whereabouts of Nangong Xiaolu." ”
"Huh?" His words were so sudden that Xu Ying didn't react for a while.
Xiaojun frowned and thought: "That man explained that the headquarters of that organization is in the United Kingdom and belongs to the Military Research Institute, but the strange point is that the unit they are in is not any of the units in the current British military camp, and the number they use is also very old, if I guess correctly, this army uses the number of the World War II era." ”
"The army during World War II?" Xu Ying also frowned, rubbing the stubble on his chin, "World War II...... By the way, Xiaojun, didn't there be a few foreign cases when we investigated the strange folk stories a year ago......? Oops, I've got to get the stuff out of here!"
"There's also something about Xiaolu......" Xiaojun didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Xu Ying, who was immersed in excitement: "Let's talk about this later, let's go and meet the others first, Xiao Li's interrogation has already ended, I just said all the confessions at one time, you go and wait for me with them first!"
The fog that had trapped them for more than a year finally revealed the cracks, and Xu Ying felt that she was about to seize that ray of light. His heart pounded, and he stepped into the data room in two or three steps, opened the safe that had been sealed for a long time, and rummaged through it for a while, until finally he picked up a folder and looked through the contents.
Sure enough, his gaze was fixed on a printed text: World War II...... Nuremberg, Germany.
The young man in white who was stabbed several times but came back from the dead......
Xu Ying's eyes flashed brightly, and he trembled his fingers to flip through the back pages.
In Japan, during the Edo period, the ghosts of the dead appeared on the streets at the night of the temple fair......
It was the concubine of the princess of the Celestial Empire more than ten years ago!
There have only been two cases of this kind of strange talk so far, and at that time they had not delved into these things, and no one paid attention to them, but now everything that is happening now can be traced. The boy in white who came back from the dead...... Consistent with the description of the Rainle they saw, thinking about it, could it be that Rainle appeared a hundred years ago?
Xu Ying's hand holding the folder shook like chaff, and the folder almost fell to the ground.
That princess of the Celestial Empire, why did he sound so familiar......
Isn't there a princess of the Celestial Empire in the story that the English men told them? He had been wondering if there was any meaning behind this story, but now it seemed that there was a connection.
But there are still many doubts.
At this time, a burst of music sounded in his pocket, and Xu Ying took out his mobile phone, which turned out to be a call from a member of the task force.
Xu Wei's voice rang in the mobile phone: "Team Xu, I went to the scene to check with the firefighters, the basement of the mall after the explosion has become a pile of debris, there is no trace of children, if it is said that it will be killed by the explosion, at least flesh and blood will be left, but not even a little human tissue can be found." ”
“...... I see, come back first, I have something important to say. After a moment of silence, Xu Ying cheered up and said.
That night, the members of the task force gathered together and began to analyze the inside story of the whole thing.
"I looked through the information a year ago, and it said that there were strange rumors during World War II, and the boy in white who came back from the dead, I guess it is very likely to be related to Rainle, maybe it is the original Rainle. Xu Ying said, "There were similar rumors in the Edo period in Japan, when someone saw the dead pony in the princess's mansion appear like a ghost, all of this must be inextricably linked, but the evidence currently available is not enough, but combined with all the things that have happened, this may be a huge conspiracy, and it started a long time ago." ”
Everyone gasped, why is it getting more and more complicated?
Li Chongxu said: "According to Kitahara Shu, the first rainle was made as early as the 19th century, and the manufacturer cooperated with a unit that was separated from the British army at that time, specializing in this technology, but then the war broke out, the British abandoned this force, nominally still belonged to the British side, but this army has no state support, and then they expanded their own power, and gradually evolved into an underground organization specializing in rainle, and has been secretly conducting experiments." ”
"Kitahara said the name of the organization was 'Rei'. "And the first Rainle was out of their hands a long time ago, and Ling had been hunting him down for a long time in order to capture him." In order not to be captured by them, Rainle hides himself and lives with an alternate personality. ”
"I see. Several people suddenly realized, so there was the appearance of Nangong Xiaolu.
"But why is it in Shanghai?" Xu Ying asked.
Li Chongxu shook his head: "Beiyuan Xiu explained about that organization, but he didn't say everything, he said that he hoped that the police would stop meddling in the matter of rainle and rainlechen code, and he didn't want to open his mouth no matter how much he asked him after that." ”
"Why? How did he know all this? Who is this person named Kitahara Xiu?" Huang Yan was puzzled.
"Actually, I know where Nangong Xiaolu is. At this time, Xiaojun suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's sideways. I saw him continue: "As long as you find Nangong Xiaolu, Rainle will appear by himself, because if there is any danger in Nangong Xiaolu, he will definitely be affected, so he will appear by himself." ”
Fu Tianzhao blinked his eyes and said hesitantly: "You, you mean...... Take Nangong Xiaolu as a hostage?"
"Just now the British man explained Nangong Xiaolu's hiding place, I can personally go and bring her back, so that Rainle can be lured. Xiaojun said.
"This is a way, then I'll go with you, what if that British man sets you up, multiple people and multiple insurances. Fu Tianzhao said to him.
"No, don't worry, the man is telling the truth. Xiaojun smiled at them, "I'll contact you when I get there." ”
"That, Xiaojun. He Juan stopped him, "After bringing Xiaolu back, do you really want to hurt her?" She just heard him say to him, "If Xiaolu encounters any danger, then Rainle will not sit idly by." "Does that mean you have to do something hurtful to her for Rainle to sense?
"Don't worry, it won't really hurt her, just a little bit for Rainle to be able to feel. Xiaojun knew what she was worried about, and said, "And at the moment the only one who knows the details of the specific rainlechen code is Rainle, and there is no other way but to do it." ”
"Okay, then you go and come back quickly. Xu Ying spoke, he was very relieved that this special agent who had been dealing with danger all year round was that Xiaojun would not do anything he was not sure about.
Xiaojun made an "ok" gesture, picked up the motorcycle key and left.
Xu Ying looked back and saw Fu Tianzhao's hesitant face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Tianzhao hurriedly came back to his senses and found that it was Xu Ying calling him, so he replied: "Ah, it's not ...... I didn't think much. ”
Xu Ying didn't ask any more, he still wanted to ask Xu Wei about the details of the scene after the explosion, so he let everyone disperse first. Walking out of the office, He Juan caught up with Fu Tianzhao in front of him and patted him: "Hey, did you want to say something just now?" ”
"Huh, how do you know?" Fu Tianzhao turned around, stunned.
He Juan smiled: "Don't underestimate a woman's intuition. Then her tone turned serious, "Did you just want to stop him from going to Nangong Xiaolu?"
Fu Tianzhao looked at her and nodded slowly. He Juan raised her eyebrows: "Sure enough, I think so too." ”
"Don't you think you shouldn't do that?" his eyes lit up as if he had found a companion.
He Juan said: "I think, no matter why he believes in a mad murderer so much, if we bring Nangong Xiaolu back, what will we do to her? What kind of physical harm can make Rainle feel danger?"
"Ah...... This ......"
"There is no doubt that it is a fatal injury, and there is no guarantee that Rainle can only really pierce her heart if she can appear a second before the danger is approaching, but if it does, aren't we killing someone?"
"That's what I said, but ......" Fu Tianzhao lowered his head, "how could Xiaojun do such a thing." ”
"Won't it. He Juan looked at him, "Did you notice his eyes just now, so cold-blooded and calmly said something to hurt people, I felt scared when I looked at it." ”
He didn't pay much attention to this, maybe Team Xu didn't pay attention either, only He Juan, who is a woman, would be so sensitive.
"Xiaojun won't really do it, I know him. He said conclusively.
"Well, I hope so. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Fu Tianzhao still in place with an unhappy face, why did she conclude so much that I would not know as well as you as my buddy Thinking about this, he returned to his room sullenly.
In the room, the two were talking.
Xu Wei said: "Qin Fan's body was not found in the wreckage after the explosion, it stands to reason that even if he dies, there will be a trace of it, but there is no trace at the scene, and now public opinion is particularly unfavorable to us, like such a large-scale explosion in the city center, the police can't stop it, the leaders of the hall have made more than a dozen phone calls to scold people, this time the director directly said that after catching the real culprit, don't investigate further, otherwise they all go home to reflect." ”
"Team Xu, why don't you tell Xiaojun and don't look for Nangong Xiaolu again?" asked Xu Wei.
"Are you scared?" Xu Ying said.
Xu Wei was indeed a little scared, the passion when he just discovered Rainle before was awakened by the cruelty of the frequent deaths in reality, he just wanted to live well now, if he continued, he didn't know who would die next.
"To be honest, it does a little. He smiled bitterly, feeling that he was very useless, after all, he was not a criminal policeman, where could he withstand a dead man for a while.
"Do you want to quit then?"
In this way, Xu Ying is planning to fight to the end. Xu Wei sighed helplessly: "I know, who made me a computer expert, you can't do them without me." ”
Xu Ying smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I haven't been able to take care of eating for a day, let's go, let's go have a big meal, I'll treat you." ”
Within a few days, as soon as the TV was turned on, almost all the channels were reporting on the explosion of a shopping mall in the city center, which was said to be a terrorist attack because of its size, and everyone passed around, and finally it turned into a conspiracy between countries, and the matter became more and more intense and out of control. As soon as a member of the task force appeared, they immediately swarmed around to find out the truth, and finally the director of the department issued an order not to allow the media to intervene, which slowly stopped, but the streets and alleys were still spreading, and the more they spread, the more mysterious they became.
While everyone in the task force was anxiously waiting, Xiaojun returned like a gust of wind, and he walked into the bureau with the unconscious Nangong Xiaolu in his arms.
"Is she the materialization of a virtual personality?" Huang Yan, who had never seen her, couldn't help but poke with his hand as if he was watching an alien creature, as if he wanted to see if his skin was soft.
didn't care about his fuss, Xu Ying and the others laid Nangong Xiaolu flat on the sofa and formed a circle.
"By the way, why can't she wake up?" asked He Juan.
"I don't know, but it has something to do with Rainle's long activities. Wasn't it when Nangong Xiaolu was active for a long time before, and his appearance was unstable? Now it is estimated that the same situation is the same. Xu Wei guessed, and everyone thought it made sense.
"What should I do? will we start now?" Xu Ying asked first, frowning and pondering.
"Do you want to pretend to kill her?" Fu Tianzhao hesitated.
Yes, who would take the initiative to do such a thing, no matter how you look at it now, it is said that there is a living little girl in front of you.
"Forget it, I'll do it. Xu Ying said, he couldn't delay any longer, he took out a short dagger, and stabbing with a blade would not necessarily be fatal, which is why he didn't use a gun. He stabbed down, blood spurted out, and several people couldn't bear to look at it, this scene was ...... It's like a crime.
The blade slashed shallowly into Nangong Xiaolu's chest, but the target they were expecting did not appear. Several people looked at each other: Could they have made a mistake? Rainle didn't really care about her?
"Could it be that Rainle has a reason why he can't show up?" Xu Wei frowned.
The door of the room suddenly slammed open, and Kitahara, who was originally under surveillance, held on to the door frame and gasped, while saying intermittently: "No, no...... Yes, hurt Nan and Nangong Xiaolu......" He ran all the way over, not breathless, like a dying patient.
Several people were a little stunned by his sudden intrusion, Beiyuan held his waist and gasped for a while, calmed down for a while, and then spoke: "If Nangong Xiaolu has a wound on her body, it will affect her brain fluctuations and accelerate her disappearance." ”
"Disappear?" said several people, their mouths wide open.
"Once Nangong Xiaolu really disappears, her ontological rainle power will all be restored, and then he will become a killing weapon that no one can destroy!" Beiyuan looked solemn, "This is the scene that person wants to see, the city is slaughtered, and the whole world will be in crisis." ”
"So serious?" Fu Tianzhao was incredulous.
"Rainlechen code shouldn't exist in the first place, and rainle shouldn't exist, they will one day subvert the human world, and even enslave human beings. Beiyuan's expression was serious, "You should have seen the power of Rainle, if that powerful existence has self-consciousness and is the enemy of humans, we will all have to finish the game, while there is still a chance now, we must keep the last thing that restrains him - that is, to protect Nangong Xiaolu." ”
"Having said all this, what is your identity, and how can we believe you?" Xu Ying asked him.
"It's useless to hide it now, because the people around you have already begun to take action. He looked around the task force meaningfully, and then spoke, "I am the assistant of the descendants who studied the Rainlechen code back then, and I have been keeping a password left by the descendants of the code creator until the first Rainle himself found me and cracked the code. ”
He showed regret: "But my equipment is not enough to unlock the password quickly, and at this time, Nangong Xiaolu, who found me, has already shown symptoms before disappearing, so Rainle acted on his own and found Ling's people to work together to crack the password...... Presumably they can't crack it alone, that's why they found you and me, and then that's what you see, the explosion on the news. ”
"What is that password you are talking about?" Xu Ying wondered, what was the important thing that made Rainle rather cooperate with his own enemies than crack it.
Kitahara was silent for a while before he said: "That password hides a way to crack the irreversible program in Rainle's body, once the password is unlocked, the irreversible program in his body will be cracked, and then it will start self-destruction, but what will happen after cracking, no one knows." ”
Xu Ying frowned: "...... What if there are any unforeseen consequences?"
"That's why I said that I want to keep Nangong Xiaolu well, as long as she is in one day, she will be safe for one more day. After Kitahara said this, he turned his gaze to a person with a terrible look in his eyes, and said, "Also, what exactly did you do to my people?"
Following his line of sight, he found that Kitahara was staring at Xiaojun. "What did you do to Gami when you brought Nangong Xiaolu over?"
Xiaojun's face buried in the shadows lifted, and Fu Tianzhao saw the look in his friend's eyes clearly, and he remembered what He Juan had said to him, and his heart tightened suddenly.
.
On the day of the explosion in the mall, no one noticed that a dark man crawled out of an inconspicuous hole, as if he had just rolled around the chimney, his face was not clean, only to see him stumble and hold on to the roadside garbage can to escape from the explosion scene, touch a motorcycle parked in front of a house, pick the lock and step up, and disappear in a puff of smoke.
Qin Fan had already thought of a way back for himself when he was working in this underground experimental base, and when no one was around, he was quietly opening up this secret secret passage every day, and the secret passage led directly to the ventilation pipe of nearby people, and if he encountered danger, he would escape from this secret passage.
I didn't expect this moment to advance so much, and he drove the motorcycle with a lot of thoughts.
Now his first thought is his lover and child who are still in the secret base of Kitahara, he can finally break away from the organization, and after taking Kitahara to find that person, all this has nothing to do with him, to hell with any code research and human experiments! He doesn't want to get involved at all now. He was going to pick up Xiao Xiao and Lingling, take them to a place that no one knew, and live a quiet life.
He drove for several days, and at last he reached his destination, and he parked his bike in the bushes, and walked along the way he had first come to the hut wrapped in green leaves, which clattered under his feet, and suddenly he stopped.
The sound of "clacking" came from the other side, gradually approaching the hut in front of it. Holding his breath, he slowly moved behind a large tree, listening to the sounds, wondering who would know about this place?
But what happened next shattered his illusions, and a young man appeared in his eyes, a man in athleisure, who looked like a college student, cutting through the grass and burrowing in.
...... He couldn't believe his eyes, the man was a member of the task force he had seen in the underground lab, and his name seemed to be ...... But why is he here?
He followed Xiaojun to the clearing behind the grass, and saw the door of the hut open, and a girl with a long whip in her hand was communicating with Xiaojun about something, he didn't know the situation, so he hid and observed.
But something unexpected happened, he saw Xiaojun suddenly raise and grab the girl's head, only to hear a "bang", the girl showed an expression of disbelief as if she was looking at all this, and she gradually lost her center of gravity and fell.
He didn't have time to react, and then Xiaojun walked into the house and left after a while. His mind went blank for a moment, and he forgot to even get up and rush over to see what was going on, and he was stunned for a few seconds, and when he finally went to check, the person who shot was gone, and there were only two corpses in the room that were gradually getting cold.
He slowly crouched down and stretched out his hand to turn the woman's body over to see her face, but his fingers could not reach, and hung above her hair a few centimeters apart, like a dull puppet doll, frozen on the floor motionless.
...... He's dead?
Two words finally came out of his stopped spinning brain, and like a stream of heat quickly spread through his body, forced to make him accept reality.
...... Why? Why is this happening?
Doesn't that mean, it's safe here?
Why do police kill?
His reactive brain was filled with grief and indignation, and he came up with an impossible thought.
He calmed down, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Beiyuan's number: "Are the police looking for Nangong Xiaolu?"
......
Putting down his phone, he looked at the two dead bodies in silence for a while, and finally turned to leave, walked briskly out of the woods, and stepped on the motorcycle and drove in one direction.
He remembered that a few days ago, in the laboratory that was still counting down, in the constantly flickering red light, he saw the young man in white turn his head to look at him, and suddenly said to him: "If you want to come to me, go to the gate of Shanghai Airport, I will wait for you there." ”
Rainle, did you expect this to happen, so you thought I'd definitely go to you?
His hair was blown by the wind, and his eyes were fierce under the hair.
Wait for me, I will kill you, Wang Xiaojun.
.
In the prison, the deepest cell is for the felon, and the other inmates seem to be afraid of this felon. "I heard that he killed countless people before he came in. "It seems that he is the culprit of the shopping mall bombing a few days ago. "Oh no, it's a great character......" They whispered as they dodged him from a distance.
Because this felony always showed a weird smile that made the scalp of others tingle inexplicably, even the prison head didn't dare to get close to him.
At this time, there was a muffled sound outside, as if someone had fallen, and slowly, a sound of footsteps came in this direction.
All the prisoners looked at this strange man with curious eyes, and they saw a teenager-like person passing by them, and what made them feel strange was not that a child suddenly ran into a prison full of murderers, but that the boy was unusually calm, as if he didn't care if there were criminals around him, and walked steadily through the iron railings, and finally he stopped in front of the prison cell at the end.
The felony raised his head, not too surprised by the appearance of the young man, as if in anticipation, his blue eyes suddenly shot out two fine lights, and he grinned.
"Here you are, my child. ”
The young man's expression was cold, as if mixed with wonderful hatred, and he only heard him speak: "What do you want to do?"
The man smiled and said, "Hehe, what I want to do, you know it, right?"
The young man's fists were clenched tightly, and his expression became more and more cold and stiff.
"The power I implant in you can directly capture other people's minds, which is stronger than the original Rainle, even if I don't open my mouth, you'll know what I'm thinking, right? Listen, what the hell am I trying to do?" he said like a pervert, his tone yin and yang.
"I know. The young man said, stretched out his hand and grabbed the iron railing, twisted slightly, and the railings instantly twisted and deformed, opening a big hole, and he spat out two words, "Let's go." ”
The man smiled with satisfaction: "What an obedient and good boy." ”
“...... Bai Mingming. ”
Something lurks in the depths of the prison, about to reveal its dark horrors to the world.
The end of the second half
