Chapter 3482 Curiosity killed the cat
Just as the two researchers who sneaked out said, this research institute is almost abandoned.
It didn't take Liu Jinghe much time to search the entire floor - almost everything here had been moved away, and nine out of ten rooms were empty. Only one or two rooms were slightly normal, which should be where the people who stayed behind worked on weekdays... and they were even a little dirty.
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed...it seemed that Vega really didn't know the situation in this research institute.
Today, Liu Jinghe came here specially with a new makeup, completely changing his appearance. Even if he was caught by a hidden camera, his identity would not be exposed... He could be a little bolder and entered the two rooms with signs of activity.
One of them was an office, but there wasn’t much information there. I only found a work log that was written by those who stayed behind.
——Nothing happened today.
——Nothing happened today.
—Damn, we’re out of coffee beans. When will the supply arrive?
They are all insignificant trivial matters... Liu Jinghe shook his head and ran to another room, which looked like a staff lounge - it was even simpler here.
However, a diary was found in one of the beds... Judging from the opening content, it should be one of the people who stayed behind and started recording it out of boredom since the laboratory was emptied.
This diary is more interesting than the work log. It records the mental journey of this left-behind person over the past period of time...it actually started seven or eight years ago.
——I regret it...I really don’t see any hope.
——Is it true that the research will never be restarted?
——That’s right... After all, the most important [specimen] has disappeared... So many people disappeared overnight, it’s scary to think about it... Yaohua, can you come back?
——No matter what, I must stay here...Yaohua, I will wait for you to come back!
Most of the contents of the diary are the man's recollections of his relationship with a female employee named Yaohua... It seems that seven or eight years ago, an extremely serious accident occurred in the institute, causing most people to mysteriously disappear overnight.
Liu Jinghe continued flipping through the pages... and as he did so, he found a simple sketch in the back of the book.
It looks like a fox, but has two horns on its back, which is quite weird... It should be some kind of demon beast or spiritual beast - there are so many species of beasts that Liu Jinghe had no idea for a moment.
——I must find it again, find it, find it...If I find it, [Yaohua] will be able to come back, find it!!!
"Are the large number of researchers missing related to this strange beast?" Liu Jinghe's mind moved, "Is this strange beast the one the institute is researching?"
The following content became more and more confusing, like the diary writer's mumbling in his sleep. Liu Jinghe could feel the other person's increasingly crazy emotions.
He pondered for a moment, took a photo of the entire diary, put it back where it was, and then began to try to explore the remaining floors.
However, to Liu Jinghe's disappointment, the rest of the floors were even emptier... Apart from some useless shelves, tables, chairs and other useless things, no useful information could be found - this place was really cleared out extremely cleanly.
“I have no choice but to leave.”
Come to think of it, given the Pingtian Group's style of doing things, if there was any shady research here, it must have been cleaned up... The diary can barely be considered a gain.
As for why this research institute was not destroyed, it was probably because people thought that it could be reopened in the future, or used for other purposes... However, since [Infinite City] has to be demolished and rebuilt, this research institute underneath will most likely not be able to be preserved and will probably be destroyed soon.
……
When Liu Jinghe walked out of the research institute, he did not rush to leave the garage downstairs, but hid in the dark and waited... Not long after, he saw the two people who had sneaked out earlier walking back slightly drunk.
He looked quite happy, perhaps his work had taken a turn for the better and he had found a way out.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two were not paying attention, Liu Jinghe suddenly took out a white pistol from his purse and shot them twice in the back of the head.
Silently, the bullets even hit the two men's heads instantly.
The two researchers were slightly startled at this moment, and subconsciously touched their heads, scratched their heads in confusion... Then they opened the entrance on the wall without noticing anything and entered the research institute.
After doing all this, Liu Jinghe quietly left the middle-class area, changed clothes in a public toilet in the city, got a car, drove to an apartment, changed clothes again, left, took a bus, came to a nightclub in the downtown area, and changed clothes again.
After leaving the nightclub and changing his clothes several times, he appeared in the [Fire Cloud Headquarters] and continued to investigate the attack case.
"…Why are you here again?"
Captain Miyuki was a little unsure of this secretary. It was fine if she was in charge of law enforcement, but why was it that you, the top secretary, were so rude...
In the evening, all the important leaders of the General Administration brought their families to attend the banquet at the Yunjue Manor. It was late at night, and the General Administration seemed very calm.
However, the lights in all the departments handling the case were still on at this time.
"I want to look up some information." Liu Jinghe said calmly, "I want to borrow your database."
Captain Miyuki frowned, "I don't have the authority to do that."
Liu Jinghe said: "This is the administrative permission given by the mayor. I should be able to directly access all the information in the general bureau."
"...Come with me." Captain Miyuki shrugged, but still secretly made a phone call to one of the big guys in charge of data supervision.
But when the other party found out that it was the mayor's permission, they let it go without saying a word... The entire bureau is really like a couple of Iron Rakshasa.
However, thinking that her salary was also paid by others, Captain Miyuki was unhappy but could do nothing about it.
After bringing Liu Jinghe to the database, Captain Miyuki did not leave in a hurry... but she did not specifically stare at Liu Jinghe to check any information. Instead, she found a seat that was neither too close nor too far away and sat down.
Liu Jinghe didn't care and started looking it up on his own.
The database of the [Fire Cloud General Administration] is basically synchronized with that of the [Nantianmen]...this is true for the entire alliance.
However, the headquarters of [Nantianmen] has been destroyed and has not been repaired yet, so the data can only be synchronized to before the [Kunlundu] incident - but the previous data is obviously complete.
After scanning the drawing of the strange beast in the phone, the supercomputer in the database responded very quickly... Soon, the information about this strange beast appeared in front of Liu Jinghe.
——Riding yellow.
——In the Baimin country, there is a beast called Chenghuang, which has a fox body, horns on its back, and yellow fur. The rider can increase his lifespan by 2,000 years, and can use the power of time and space to jump across continents...
This is the record of the world's strange beasts in the data of the [Nantianmen] headquarters.
"The power of time and space, jump..." Liu Jinghe was slightly absent-minded, as if he had grasped something.
There is not much information about the [Chenghuang]. Even the database of [Nantianmen] only has a brief introduction. The only record of the appearance of Chenghuang was five thousand years ago. It is said that a farmer came to the world from the [Gate of Relics] by riding Chenghuang. After being discovered, the farmer's body aged rapidly and died soon, and even his soul was completely annihilated...
He glanced at Captain Miyuki at this moment... Miyuki was flipping through a magazine boredly, but she was definitely paying attention to him - after being discovered, Captain Miyuki simply stopped pretending.
Liu Jinghe didn't care and started searching for the content of [Yaohua] - but the search result showed that the content of the project did not exist.
He frowned, pondered for a moment, and stood up from his seat, "Captain Miyuki, it's enough."
"So fast?" Captain Miyuki asked in surprise, "Did Secretary Liu find what he wanted?"
"Not sure yet." Liu Jinghe said calmly, "I'm going back to the city government first."
Captain Miyuki said, "Then I'll take you out."
Captain Miyuki sent Liu Jinghe directly to the open-air parking lot of the headquarters. Liu Jinghe smiled and said, "It's enough to stop here... You can see that my hands are always empty."
Captain Miyuki smiled and said, "Goodbye, Secretary Liu."
At this moment, strong lights suddenly shot over, which turned out to be the lighting in the parking lot... Captain Miyuki subconsciously blocked the strong light, but at this moment she heard chaotic footsteps, and many people came at once.
"Captain of Section Three?" At this moment, seeing the parking lot filled with law enforcement officers on duty, including the captain of Section Three, Captain Miyuki was stunned and subconsciously asked, "What's going on? Is there a special operation tonight?"
"Captain Miyuki." The captain of Section 3 glanced at Miyuki, then his gaze fell on Liu Jinghe, and his face was stern. "And Secretary Liu, please put down your equipment and surrender. We are arresting you two for stealing secrets."
"Are you kidding me?" Captain Miyuki frowned. "Is today some kind of fool's day?"
"This is not a joke!" The captain of Section 3 waved his hand, and instantly the law enforcement officers around him raised their weapons. "You two, please accompany me to do my job."
Captain Miyuki was furious. "Who gave the order? You and I are on the same level. Why did you arrest me?"
Unexpectedly, the captain of Section 3 did not even consider pulling the trigger and said directly: "The target is arrested, his attitude is bad... Kill him on the spot!"
"you……"
boom--! !
Then a psychic grenade was shot out from the crowd, and Captain Miyuki was horrified... There was a loud bang in the parking lot!
The psychic grenade was extremely powerful, and it blew out a deep pit in an instant... At this time, Captain Miyuki was unable to completely resist because of the trauma reaction, and one of her arms was already covered in blood.
"You are committing murder!" Captain Miyuki was shocked and angry.
On the other side, Liu Jinghe also avoided the attack, but looked a little embarrassed.
But the captain of Section Three seemed determined to kill the man, and he used not only psychic grenades, but also more heavy psychic weapons - he even used suppressor weapons that were only used against serious criminals.
After a burst of heavy bombardment, vehicles were blown away in the open parking lot - even the law enforcement officers who were using weapons on the scene could not help but feel their scalps tingling.
However, after cleaning the floor, the bodies of the two were not found at the scene... The captain of Section 3 frowned, made a phone call, and looked extremely ugly.
"Captain, there is a lot of blood here... They are probably all injured and can't walk far."
"Mobilize the beastmasters and send out the spirit dogs!"
……
Squeak…squeak!!
In an apartment building in the city, there was a sudden flash of lightning in the room, and then two figures fell from the lightning.
At this time, a young man who was watching an adult program with headphones in the apartment room was staring at the two sudden intruders in amazement.
After Liu Jinghe landed on the ground, he knocked the young man unconscious without saying a word. He then spat out a mouthful of blood... His entire back was almost blown unconscious.
Captain Miyuki wasn't much better, one of her arms was almost broken.
Liu Jinghe endured the severe pain at this time, but glanced out the window. Seeing that he was still in the city center, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "It seems that the space has become much more stable after the upgrade of heaven and earth, and the Great Teleportation Talisman can't go far..."
"The Great Teleportation Talisman, this is an incredible treasure." Captain Miyuki said faintly, "Secretary Liu, you are really willing to give it away."
Liu Jinghe was about to speak when Captain Miyuki flew into a rage and grabbed Liu Jinghe by the collar. "What on earth have you done! You bastard! You've implicated me too! They're coming for you... What on earth are you investigating for that illegal thing!"
Liu Jinghe pondered and said, "How do you know that they are coming for me?"
Captain Miyuki said angrily, "Do you know what internal network monitoring is? Sensitive word search... You must have crossed the line when you were looking up the data! I just didn't expect you to go to the extent of not caring about my life or death... You TM!"
Liu Jinghe remained silent.
——Is it because of [Chenghuang] or because of [Yaohua]?
"Now we are going to interrupt with an urgent message, announcing two wanted criminals on the run. Citizens with any clues are requested to contact the [Fire Cloud General Administration] as soon as possible... The two wanted criminals are extremely dangerous..."
"Miyuki, former law enforcement captain of the Fire Cloud General Administration..."
"Liu Jinghe, former first secretary general of the mayor's office of the municipal government..."
Seeing two portraits suddenly appearing on the TV while an adult program was playing, Captain Miyuki was horrified. She absentmindedly let go of Liu Jinghe's hand and said in a lost voice, "They are so fast... They are already [front]?!"
Liu Jinghe's expression became even more uncertain.
Suddenly the phone rang. Liu Jinghe picked it up and took a look. It turned out to be the mayor Tie Luosha.
Liu Jinghe's pupils couldn't help but shrink. He gritted his teeth and crushed the phone into pieces.
"Your boss is looking for you and might be able to help you! Why don't you answer?" Captain Miyuki asked suspiciously, "Didn't the mayor ask you to look up the information... Wait, is this your own personal behavior?"
Liu Jinghe thought for a moment and said, "You'd better throw away your phone. Fire Cloud Mobile can track the phone's signal... This place should have been exposed. Let's move to another place first."
Captain Miyuki said, "Where are we going? The entire [Huoyun City] is Skynet!"
"【Infinite City】."
Captain Miyuki remained silent... Not objecting meant tacit approval. As for things like she had not committed any crime and that she should capture the person and explain herself clearly, she didn't even intend to mention it.
The captain of Section Three was obviously here to silence me and didn't give me any room to maneuver.
"I'm going to die, and you owe me two lives!" Captain Miyuki stared at the other party viciously.
“…Two?”
Captain Miyuki said angrily, "Will I never be able to have children in the future?!"
……
……
……
……
At night, in a park... a dance floor converted from a factory appeared.
Sun Ming frowned and looked at the sign that was no longer bright and covered with dust - [Pure Land of Bliss].
Obviously, his shop has not been open for business for a long time.
Sun Ming entered through the back door without saying a word... In the alley outside the back door, there were actually several homeless people lying there sleeping.
Without disturbing these people abandoned by the city, Sun Ming walked into the dance hall, which was filled with the smell of stale and fermented rotten bread.
At this moment, all the pores on Sun Ming's body tightened, and he felt a hot breath coming... Sun Ming instinctively waved his hand to slap it, but saw a fireball the size of a cantaloupe rushing towards him!
Bo——!
However, the fireball automatically extinguished when it was about to touch Sun Ming's palm.
Sun Ming focused his eyes and saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness... a [girl].
"Hey, Uncle Ming, it's you?" A young girl's voice sounded.
Sun Ming looked at the delicate face of the girl in a surprised and doubtful manner, "Red Boy... Red Boy?"
The [girl] smiled brilliantly at this time, and said faintly: "I knew that you, Uncle Ming, would be the only one who would remember me..."
