"Is this the place?"
Standing at the gate of a magnificent mansion, Lu Zhou, who was standing next to Ling, looked at the number on the door plate according to the map on the holographic screen, then walked forward and stood in front of the access control system.
"Is Mr. Morinaga at home?"
The electronic screen flickered slightly.
After a while, a bright and sunny smile quickly appeared in front of Lu Zhou.
"Academician Lu?" With a hint of surprise on his face, Morinaga said with a smile, "What brings you here?"
Lu Zhou: "I want to talk to you in detail about something."
"The door is not a place to talk, please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the metal door slowly opened to both sides.
Lu Zhou glanced around and nodded at Ling, who was dressed in casual clothes. He then followed him and walked along the path in the front yard into the mansion.
An old butler with a slightly old face but a healthy body stood at the door of the main building. After seeing Lu Zhou, he nodded slightly, then made a gesture to invite him in. He took him through the spacious porch to the living room on the first floor.
"Your house is quite big." Lu Zhou sat down on the sofa and looked at Morinaga, who was sitting across the coffee table. He said with a faint smile, "It's all thanks to the grace of my ancestors."
"It's all thanks to my ancestors." Morinaga nodded slightly as he looked at the butler who put the teacup on the coffee table. He then looked at Lu Zhou with a smile and said, "I don't know what is so important that Academician Lu came to my house in person."
Without touching the teacup on the table, Lu Zhou, who was sitting on the sofa, thought for a while. He then spoke straightforwardly.
"I'm not a person who likes to beat around the bush, so I'll just say it."
"How much do you know about The Spirit of The Universe Foundation?"
The moment he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the living room fell into silence.
It was as if the air had been frozen.
"… Foundation? What foundation? "
With a light cough, Morinaga pretended not to know, but his eyes unconsciously sharpened.
Catching the change in his expression, Lu Zhou faintly smiled and glanced at Ling.
Ling, who was sitting next to him, nodded. He took out a thumbnail-sized memory card from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table. He then flicked his index finger and sent it to Morinaga.
"What is this …"
Lu Zhou: "The memory card of the holographic TV. You can play it yourself."
With a skeptical mood, Morinaga nodded at his butler. He instructed him to take the memory card to the side of the holographic TV and insert it into the card slot.
Soon, as the blue light particles appeared in the air, a translucent holographic panel occupied the entire wall of the living room.
After returning behind Morinaga, the old butler spoke respectfully.
"Should I play it?"
With an uncertain look on his face, Morinaga glanced at Lu Zhou, then glanced at the robot sitting next to him as he spoke.
"A straight body does not fear a crooked shadow. Release it."
The old butler nodded. He reached out and waved his hand in the air. With the movement of his hand, a clear picture quickly appeared on the translucent holographic screen.
A surveillance video was projected on the screen. The location was an apartment building somewhere in Shanghai.
Morinaga looked at the familiar corridor and himself appearing on the surveillance screen. His pupils shrank slightly, and a cold sweat gradually appeared on his back.
Of course, he knew where this was.
That was because he had just been there yesterday.
Judging from the footage in the video, the time of evidence collection should be yesterday!
"After getting off the car from the parking lot, Mr. Morinaga went straight to Room 5709 on the 57th floor and stayed in it for three hours … Am I right?"
"So? Is there a problem with this? " Looking at Lu Zhou sitting opposite him, Morinaga tried to restrain the nervousness in his heart. He pretended to be calm and said, "It's just a surveillance video, what can this prove?"
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said, "Do you want to continue acting? If you want, I can even pull up your call records, including the part where you threatened Academician Qiu Mingrui. "
The moment he heard Academician Qiu's words, Morinaga's expression finally changed. He changed from pretending to be calm to a gloomy expression.
Just when Lu Zhou was curious about how he was going to continue to explain, Morinaga's shoulders suddenly relaxed slightly, and the expression on his face also relaxed.
Looking at Lu Zhou sitting opposite him, Morinaga spoke softly.
"You win."
Lu Zhou looked at him and didn't speak. He just quietly waited for him to continue.
"To be honest, I'm really surprised.
"I thought an old antique from a hundred years ago should be easy to manipulate. I didn't expect your every choice and final result to be beyond my expectations."
Knowing that his identity had been exposed, Morinaga simply stopped acting. He leaned back on the sofa and continued in a relaxed tone.
"If there were no accidents, you should have died in the explosion, together with the robot courier. The outside world will make up a wonderful movie script for the death of you and Liu Zhengxing, as well as Blood Hand, as the ending of the 'Great Scholar'. "
"Then you look down on me too much." Lu Zhou said with a faint smile, "Even The Gates of Hell didn't bury me. Do you think two kilograms of explosives can do it?"
"I admit, I underestimated you." Looking at Lu Zhou sitting opposite, Morinaga suddenly threw out an unexpected sentence. "In that case, consider joining us."
Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback. He spoke with a smile.
"Did I hear you wrong?"
"You didn't hear me wrong, I'm serious." Morinaga said with a slight smile, "In the past hundred years, we have developed to a level that you can't even imagine. You know too much. Becoming one of us is the only possibility for you to survive. "
Lu Zhou glanced at the time on the holographic TV and spoke casually.
"You should tell this to the police."
When he heard these words, the expression on Morinaga's face gradually became gloomy.
"So you refuse?"
Lu Zhou: "Have I shown the slightest interest in your proposal?"
"Then there's no other way."
Morinaga breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes.
Just when Lu Zhou thought that he had accepted his fate, the pair of eyes suddenly opened.
Moreover, those pitch-black pupils were filled with a fanatical color …
"You shouldn't have come in person. Unfortunately, your arrogance will bury you! You finally survived, but you are in a hurry to die … Why? "
There were two safest places in the entire villa. One was the wine cellar, and the other was the living room. The former was connected to the safe house underground of the villa, and the latter was installed with at least twenty automatic weapons, which he hid in the dark.
After all, what he was doing was subverting society. If he didn't prepare more things for himself to protect himself, his body might be found in a stinky ditch one day.
However, Morinaga never thought that the trump card he kept for self-protection would really be used one day, and it was used on an old antique from a hundred years ago.
However, in any case, his identity must not be exposed!
Even if it was exposed, it had to be after he was safe!
Although after Lu Zhou disappeared, the Security Bureau would definitely find him, at least it would give him time to escape the country.
"You know too much. Go to hell with your secrets and knowledge!"
"Hell has rejected me once. I think it will be the same this time."
Lu Zhou looked at the infrared rays that fell on "him", as well as the automatic weapons hanging from the ceiling. The expression on Lu Zhou's face was not the slightest bit afraid. Instead, he smiled and put down his right leg that was on his left knee.
"I'll leave this to you."
The figure sitting on the sofa suddenly faded and disappeared in Morinaga's dumbfounded sight …
