"I found what you want."
Sitting in the office, looking at the holographic screen floating on the desktop, Xing Bian was stunned when he heard the sudden words from the video call.
After a long time, he calmed down and spoke.
"Found it … What do you mean?"
"Literally, the clues you want about the ALPHA virus." In the video window, Lu Zhou said concisely, "It is impossible to defend against this virus from the program, but I found a key witness about the ALPHA virus here …"
Key witness?
Xing Bian's eyebrows twitched fiercely. He couldn't digest the amount of information in this sentence for a while.
Although he was the one who asked Lu Zhou to assist their task force in investigating the ALPHA virus, he did not expect that this academic big shot would assist them in this way.
Xing Bian took a deep breath and asked seriously.
"Who is the witness? Where is he now? "
"It's not convenient to say it on the phone. I'll give you an address. You'd better come as soon as possible … Because I'm not sure if he will wait here."
As soon as he heard this, Xing Bian immediately said, "I'll come right away!"
After writing down the address, he immediately hung up the phone and contacted the people in the operations department. In less than a minute, the siren came out of the Security Bureau's garage.
In just five minutes, three or four police cars crossed half of Shanghai and stopped downstairs of Morinaga's home.
Xing Bian closed the door. He got out of the car and walked to the side of the iron gate. He took out a compass-like instrument from his hand and scanned the door.
He frowned, then looked at Shi Jin, who was already waiting next to him, and ordered.
"Enter."
"Yes!"
After receiving instructions from Captain Xing, Shi Jin nodded and made a gesture to the commandos next to him. He then pushed open the safety of the pistol and rushed in with the two rows of heavily armed commandos.
Considering the potential threat of the ALPHA virus, the commandos dispatched this time were all elites in the bureau, and they were the kind of people who had not used implants.
However, although they were prepared for a fierce battle in the face of a dangerous KB organization like the foundation, the expected battle did not happen.
Or rather, they were a step too late.
"… What exactly happened here?" Looking at the mess in the living room and the automatic weapons hanging on the ceiling, Shi Jin's face was full of unbelievable expressions.
It was hard to imagine that in a place like the Yangtze River Delta city group, there would be such a heavy firepower system that exceeded the scope of light weapons in someone's home.
A drop of cold sweat streaked across his forehead. If it was his group that had broken into this place, and if the owner of this house had decided to resist arrest, they would have been turned into sieves by now.
Combat experience was one thing, but this kind of danger was clearly beyond the scope of experience.
"Looks like we're late." After looking around coldly, Xing Bian's eyes locked on the side door of the living room. He then said, "Team A, go to the study to collect evidence, Team B and I will go to the garage."
"Yes!"
…
Morinaga was caught.
When he was found, he was tied to the hood of the car. It could be seen that he tried to save himself, such as trying to break the plastic rope that bound him with his fingernails.
Unfortunately, even if the fingernails of his index finger and thumb were scrapped, he could not make any damage to the rope that bound him.
Although he was confused as to why a person like Morinaga would participate in the conspiracy of the foundation, the ironclad evidence was in front of him. He quickly ordered the arrest of Morinaga in the name of endangering social security.
Even if he was not a high-level figure of the foundation, just the weapons he deployed in his home were enough to put him in prison …
In the interrogation room.
Morinaga, whose eyelids were swollen, looked gloomily at Xing Bian, Shi Jin, and other agents sitting behind the glass window. His face was devoid of the glory and dignity of the past.
Facing the interrogation of the Security Bureau, he spoke mockingly.
"I won't say anything, just give up."
Xing Bian didn't look at him but looked at the doctor standing next to him.
"Inject him with the truth serum."
The doctor nodded and took out a needle from the toolbox.
"Yes."
The moment Morinaga saw this needle, there was a rare trace of panic in his eyes. He struggled in the chair.
"Don't come over."
"Ahhh!"
The scream of a pig being slaughtered sounded. Ignoring Morinaga's struggle, the doctor calmly injected a safe amount into his vein, then left the interrogation room with the toolbox.
The veins on Morinaga's hands were bulging, and his eyes were bloodshot. But soon, he calmed down, and the rhythm of his breathing became stable.
However, his bloodshot eyes were filled with an even greater madness than before …
Looking at Morinaga sitting in the interrogation room, Xing Bian spoke with a cold expression.
"What the hell is going on with the ALPHA virus?"
Perhaps because the effect of the drug had not yet been fully exerted, a trace of struggle flashed in Morinaga's eyes.
However, this struggle didn't last long.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly chuckled and said.
"A virus designed for AI, especially the memory of robots … Give up, ALPHA has spread on the black market. Those who have more criminal motives than us will be more careful about spreading the virus than us. At least 100,000 robots have been infected with it."
"You …"
Shi Jin clenched his fists tightly. Looking at Morinaga's face, he took two steps forward angrily, but Captain Xing raised his hand and stopped him.
"Actually, I've always had a question." Xing Bian continued, staring at Morinaga, who was sitting behind the table, "People like you should be able to live comfortably. Why would you choose to believe in an illusory faith?"
"Illusory? That's because of your ignorance. "There was a look of contempt in the crazy eyes. Looking at the expressionless Xing Bian, Morinaga continued unhurriedly," If you heard the whisper from the Void, you wouldn't think so. "
Shi Jin frowned.
"Whisper from the Void?"
A dry laugh came from Morinaga's throat. "That's a grace that only a few people have. The prophet heard it first and shared it with us. Our long-cherished wish is to share the grace with others. When this planet is full of believers of the spirit of the universe, the powerful spiritual energy will connect us closely, and we will be omnipotent … "
Listening to this crazy description, Shi Jin didn't know whether to show contempt or sympathy on his face.
He finally shook his head and said, "What a hopeless guy."
Captain Xing, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "So what does this have to do with the ALPHA virus?"
"Of course it has something to do with it."
At this point, Morinaga's smile suddenly had a hint of cruelty.
In a slow tone, he continued, "Only in disasters will the lost lambs seek sustenance in faith and find comfort in the spiritual world. Think about it, once the foundation of modern society is broken like a piece of tofu, and the trusted companions of the past become bloodthirsty killing tools … Use your brain to guess what will happen to the world? "
The interrogation room was silent for a moment.
Many people couldn't help but have a drop of cold sweat sliding down their backs.
Originally, in their minds, The Spirit of The Universe Foundation was probably going to use the ALPHA virus as a threat to achieve their evil demands, but they didn't expect that they had no intention of negotiating from the beginning. Instead, they planned to directly bury the prosperity of the 22nd century in this terrible AI virus, then rise from the chaos and transition from the underground to the surface.
Xing Bian's expression gradually became cold.
"You made the virus?"
"Us? Are you referring to Dawn Technology? Hahahaha … "Morinaga laughed crazily and said in a hoarse voice," Of course not … Speaking of which, how did we get it? Ah, yes, I remember, it seems to be the source code bought from a group of space pirates. According to them, the virus was stolen from the Tiangong City New Technology Laboratory, but who cares? As long as it's useful. "
Staring at Morinaga in the interrogation room, Shi Jin, who was standing in front of the glass window, asked sternly.
"Space pirates? Which space pirates? Where are they? "
"It's about 0.03 astronomical units away from Ceres. Anyway, their base is nearby. I don't know anything more specific." Morinaga said with a wild laugh, "No, it's useless! My mission has been completed. It was completed last year! Prepare to feel despair. You will soon experience the feeling of falling from the clouds into the abyss. Let me see how ugly you will be in this post-apocalyptic world. "
Looking at Morinaga, who had fallen into madness, the doctor standing next to Xing Bian frowned and spoke with some worry.
"His mental condition is no longer suitable for continued interrogation … Or should we increase the dose?"
"No, we already know the key clues. As for him … "Xing Bian thought for a while and continued," Let's keep him first. I still have a lot of questions to talk to him slowly. "
Looking at Captain Xing, who turned around and walked toward the door, Shi Jin quickly kept up with his footsteps and said anxiously.
"Captain, the situation is urgent. We must take action immediately! Interrogate Morinaga and find out which victims his virus had spread to — "
"It's useless. Once the virus spreads, it doesn't make much sense to investigate the intermediate spreader. The top priority now is to lock the ALpha virus from the source."
After a pause, Xing Bian, who was walking quickly in the corridor, continued with a cold expression, "It's useless.
When you go back to the office in a while, you write the interrogation report. I will submit it to the higher authorities.
"Next is the work of the First Fleet."
