Pew pew pew ~
On the high wall, the gun barrel made of the insect's flesh and blood was spinning crazily. From the black muzzle, the sticky flesh and blood spurted out. White "bullets" were mercilessly fired at the people below the high wall.
"Shield Barrier!"
Lu Hou's expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, he activated the defensive skill of his shield. Bullets rained down on the light screen like a storm, leaving irregularly shaped bullet holes.
Yu Meng and Zhao Yulong, the two spiritual-type apostles who had broken through the first lock, reached out their hands at the same time and condensed an invisible psychokinetic barrier in front of them. They used this method to block the barrage of bullets from the high wall.
…
Cangyang City, located in the southwest of Chidragon, was a third-tier ancient city.
It was neither big nor small.
The exit of Ground Net was near the pedestrian street.
When Irin left Ground Net's exit, the crowd almost drowned him.
Speaking of which, Irin learned something interesting when he was on Ground Net.
Li Erpang had just come out of the trial and was sent to other places by Zhao Yulong to carry out missions.
It was said that Little Fatso's assistant was his wife, Su Xiaosu.
This was really what it meant when the husband and wife worked together.
Actually, Zhao Yulong was even more impressive.
He only needed to send a salary to Li Erpang and bring Su Xiaosu along.
Buy one get one free. It was a good deal.
Su Xiaosu was also willing.
Li Erpang took the initiative to contact him for no other reason than to complain.
What was so difficult about carrying out missions with his wife?
Irin couldn't understand.
Yes, he couldn't understand.
Looking at the crowd in front of him and coming to this unfamiliar city, Irin dialed the number that Zhao Yulong gave him.
A few minutes later.
An inconspicuous man wearing black-rimmed glasses came up.
"I'm Yuan Zhiye. Are you …"
"Irin."
The two simply confirmed each other's identity.
In the crowd, Irin did not ask too many questions.
Yuan Zhiye didn't say anything about the case.
Yuan Zhiye looked to be in his early thirties, much older than Irin. However, when he spoke to Irin, he did not have any intention of belittling him. His tone was respectful and courteous, which made people feel comfortable listening to him.
"The deputy team leader said that after you take over, you will be the person in charge of this case. Our investigation team and field team will listen to your orders."
"Mm, no problem. Find a time to tell me about it. Some of the information might not be so clear in the documents. "
"Of course." Yuan Zhiye smiled, but then lowered his voice and said, "I don't mean to gossip, but leader, you do look a little too young. There's nothing wrong with the investigation team that I'm in charge of, but the field team … their captain is a little stubborn and not easy to get along with. "
"It's okay. I'm a kind person. I can get along with anyone."
Irin was afraid that Yuan Zhiye would not believe him, so he smiled kindly.
Under Yuan Zhiye's lead, Irin came to the temporary stronghold.
Although it was called a stronghold, it was actually not that secretive.
The Cangyang City Police Station had already arranged a temporary office for Yuan Zhiye and the others.
When they arrived at the temporary office of the Cangyang City Police Station, Irin saw the "stubborn field team captain" that Yuan Zhiye mentioned. He could not help but be stunned.
"Ling, brother Ling!"
A young man with a strong physique and a crew cut was excited when he saw Irin. He held Irin's hand tightly.
Oh my god, he's even calling him brother?
When the others in the room saw this, they were all surprised.
They knew very well what kind of personality this small team captain had.
Although he was not arrogant and domineering, he had the unique arrogance of an elite from the Special Warfare Department. He did not give face to anyone.
When he first came here, the Cangyang City Police Station's chief, Liao Jianbai, was mercilessly scolded by Wang Bing because of his negligence in the case.
No one would have thought that such a young official member of the Special Warfare Department would claim to be a relative the moment he arrived.
But he doesn't even look as old as you!
The others had strange expressions on their faces.
So did Yuan Zhiye.
Not long ago, he said that the field team captain was not easy to get along with.
The slap in the face came so quickly that it caught him off guard. The slap was so loud.
"It's you!"
Irin quickly searched through his memory and remembered who this person was.
— — Wang Bing.
In a certain "no man's land" exploration operation, Wang Bing was also the field team captain. In that operation, because the enemy forces hired the apostle Bi Jiaojiao to assassinate everyone in the "gray fog", it led to the complete annihilation of the field team led by Wang Bing except for him.
Actually, in the real world, that incident happened less than half a year ago.
But to Irin, the experience in the inner world, adding up the time inside and outside, seemed to be a very long time ago.
Speaking of which, the "ordinary banana skin" that allowed Irin to overcome crisis after crisis came from Bi Jiaojiao's hands.
Many of the new apostles did not understand the strange usage of the "ordinary series" items. Otherwise, they would not have left it in the storage space and let Irin take advantage of it.
Thank you, Bi Jiaojiao!
…
"I didn't expect Brother Ling to be the one to handle this matter!"
Wang Bing was very excited.
He knew Irin's ability.
Not only the strange killing methods, Irin's ability to adapt also left a deep impression on Wang Bing.
At the beginning, Wang Bing was still worried that the higher-ups had sent a newcomer to handle this case.
But once he saw Irin, Wang Bing instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
This matter was settled, it was settled!
"Well, there is no other way, the team does not have enough manpower."
Irin said the truth.
Wang Bing and Irin were reunited. After the excitement, he could not help but think of his teammates who died in the no man's land. A hint of hidden sadness flashed through his eyes. But this trace of sadness came and went as quickly as it came. After a few simple greetings, Irin did not say any more nonsense and went straight to the point.
There were no outsiders at the scene.
The investigation team, like the field team, was a team of five.
"Tell me about the case."
Irin did not refuse and sat directly in the center position, looking at Yuan Zhiye with a serious face.
"Cough cough." Yuan Zhiye coughed twice and began to tell the whole story.
"The whole thing started a month ago. A month ago, the local police in Cangyang City, in a residence in a high-end residential area, found a strange corpse. "
As Yuan Zhiye spoke, he took out a portable 3D holographic projector and projected the information to the center of the room.
This portable 3D holographic projector was a small invention that Molly came up with in her free time.
"The surface of the corpse was covered with many fine scars, and the corpse was in a state of severe dehydration. Other than that, after the forensic autopsy, no other cause of death was found, so the cause of death should not be suspicious. "
In the case file that Irin obtained from Zhao Yulong, there was an autopsy report. Because it involved an "abnormal event," there was no picture attached.
It only described that the deceased was in a state of severe dehydration, and the cause of death was hemorrhagic shock.
At this moment, the lifelike picture of the miserable corpse appeared in the form of a 3D holographic projection in front of everyone. Irin's gaze froze, and she blurted out, "A mummy?"
"The autopsy report was more professional and ambiguous. Because this autopsy report was the conclusion of an 'ordinary forensic doctor.' " Yuan Zhiye nodded with a serious expression. The way the corpse died, no matter how many times it was seen, was enough to give people nightmares.
Irin understood what Yuan Zhiye meant by "ordinary forensic doctor."
"What about the conclusion that was not ordinary?"
"According to further examination and inference, the dense scars on the surface of the mummy were most likely caused by a creature's mouthpart."
"Mouthpart?" Irin was stunned.
"It means the mouth," Wang Bing interrupted innocently.
Yuan Zhiye quickly switched to the next picture, took a deep breath, and continued.
"Based on the investigation of the scene, there was a large amount of mucus secreted by mollusks everywhere in the deceased's home. By comparing the composition of the mucus and the shape of the mouthpart, we actually found the 'murder weapon.' "
Yuan Zhiye personally believed that the word "murder weapon" he used was very vivid and professional.
Irin was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Leeches?"
"That's right, leeches, and a large number of leeches." Yuan Zhiye looked at Irin in surprise. He didn't expect the other party to guess the true identity of the "murder weapon" in just a few minutes before he even said the conclusion.
"In other words, the deceased was' sucked 'into a mummy by countless leeches."
"This is also the reason why this case was handed over to the Special Case Group." Every time Yuan Zhiye imagined the terrifying scene, he felt his scalp tingle. He projected the information of all the deceased on the public screen in the form of a three-dimensional slide and said, "In the past month, there have been eleven deceased victims who died from the attacks of the leech army."
The term "leech army" was slightly humorous, but no one present could laugh.
"Are there any similarities between the identities of the eleven deceased?"
"Yes, the only similarity is that the prey chosen by the leech army are all people who live alone. Age and gender are very random, giving people the feeling that … "Yuan Zhiye had been under investigation for almost a month. He had a lot of ideas in his mind, but he didn't know what words to use to describe them.
"Haha." Irin laughed, "Are you trying to say that the common point of the deceased is more like … easy prey?"
"Yes."
"What about the range?"
"The entire Cangyang City."
"The ability to control leeches? And the range is so large? This is a little troublesome. "
Irin had a headache.
As expected, cases that could not be solved by Zhao Yulong at the end were not easy to deal with.
Although the investigation team and field team led by Yuan Zhiye and Wang Bing were all departments under the Special Case Group, they were still ordinary people. Even if they came into contact with a lot of "abnormal events," if they really had to deal with them, in the end, this matter still fell on Irin's head.
"If I had known, I would have gotten an assistant."
Irin suddenly regretted rejecting Zhao Yulong's suggestion.
But what was the use of sending a cute rookie over?
What he lacked now was an assistant with rich practical experience. Otherwise, how could he slack off?
Just like the current situation.
Sending Ou Lele over would be useless.
"Wait, blood sucking?"
After being surprised for a moment, Irin helplessly shook his head.
To a certain extent, that guy's divination was quite accurate.
After weighing the pros and cons, Irin quickly sent a message to Gu Tianqing.
Gu Tianqing's reply was only three words: I'll be there immediately!
After contacting Gu Tianqing, Irin was no longer in a hurry.
"When did the last victim die?"
"The night before yesterday, at about 21: 00, the neighbor found him."
Yuan Zhiye saw that Irin quickly got into work mode. His eyes lit up and he told him the information he personally investigated.
After that, Irin muttered, "Understood, I'll go check it out myself tonight. There are some things that I'm slightly concerned about. "
After leaving the police station, Irin told Yuan Zhiye and Wang Bing to rest for the night and left alone.
"The weather is not bad tonight."
Irin squinted his eyes and looked at the gradually darkening sky with a smile.
Irin checked in at a local star hotel in Cangyang City.
A proper hotel.
21: 00 sharp.
"The place to construct the tactic should be under the bed."
After Irin repeatedly confirmed that there were no surveillance devices in the room, he easily moved the single bed away and made some space.
"The hotel's under the bed is usually a blind spot for cleaning. I'll use a pen that's easy to clean to construct the tactic. Even if there are some insignificant traces left behind, they won't link it to me. "
Twenty minutes later, the teleportation spell was completed.
As the last crystal was carefully placed in the corresponding place by Irin, the power of the crystal in the tactic under Irin's feet began to flow. The light of the tactic lit up the room.
On the door handle, Irin also hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign in advance.
Everything was ready.
Irin recalled for about ten seconds. After confirming that he did not miss anything, he stood in the middle of the tactic.
Whoosh.
The light flashed.
When Irin opened his eyes again, he was already back in Molly's lab.
For safety's sake, he even left his phone in the hotel in Cangyang City.
No one knew that he had returned to the capital.
No one could have expected that he had crossed more than two thousand kilometers in just one second and achieved teleportation.
"Success!"
Irin clenched his fist and spread his perception.
Irin did not tell anyone about tonight's operation.
Including Molly.
Although Molly could be trusted, in the lab, other than Molly, there were also Zhao Yulong's spies.
If Zhao Yulong knew that he had appeared in the capital tonight, all his previous preparations would be for naught.
Irin looked at the time. 21: 00 sharp.
He had already made precise calculations in advance.
Twelve perfect crystals were enough to support two ultra-long distance teleportations.
Irin did not waste any time in the same place. He activated [Following Shadow] and [Shadow Kill], quietly left Molly's lab, and went straight to the Research Division.
With the bonus of the epic title, Irin was almost free from the problem of insufficient psionic energy value. He was full of confidence when using skills.
Ten minutes later.
The "shadow" arrived in front of a twenty-eight-story office building.
[Dream Yu Technology Co., Ltd.]
The real location of the Research Division was not upstairs.
It was underground.
Yu Meng's company was a listed company on the surface, but this was just a cover.
At this time, the windows of the building were already dark. Everyone had gotten off work.
The door was closed tightly.
But for Irin, whether the door was closed or not, it did not make much of a difference.
In the darkness, the shadow flashed through the gap under the door and blended into the deeper darkness of the hall.
"This is already a heavily monitored area. But Molly has already taken precautions in advance. The cameras here are all ordinary high-resolution cameras, the kind that does not have thermal sensors. It will be easy to break in. The problem is after the breakthrough. "
Irin did not press the elevator button.
First, he could not.
Second, there was no need.
There were a total of two elevator areas in Dream Yu Technology Co., Ltd.
One of them was the public elevator that was not far from the lobby for all the employees of the company.
The other elevator area was at the end of the corridor. It was the elevator that belonged to the high-authority people.
To go to the Research Division underground, one could only go all the way down the elevator shaft of the exclusive elevator.
Irin glanced at the remaining psionic energy value.
Yes, it was very sufficient.
Being awesome was all that mattered.
Ever since he had the epic title, the consumption of continuous skills was almost no longer a consumption.
Before coming, Molly had already drawn the map.
Irin moved stealthily in the shadow state while he flipped through the map in his mind.
"This elevator can only reach the B1 floor."
"Area A is located on the B3 floor. To reach the B3 floor, one must pass through the central corridor of the B1 floor and walk all the way to the other elevator at the end."
"Should I say that this is indeed a top-secret area of the country? The security is not tight, but it is quite troublesome. "
"It's just that there are hidden guards around this building. Suspicious people probably can't even get within a hundred meters of the building."
There was nothing much to say about the stealthy process.
For Irin, it was too easy.
It was easy and pleasant.
If it were not for the fact that he was worried about Zhao Yulong's suspicions, Irin would not have even taken the job in Cangyang City.
On the B1 floor.
Irin observed secretly.
The corridor was very simple.
Pure white walls, bright ceiling lights, and countless hidden cameras were scanning back and forth.
Researchers in white coats were walking back and forth in a hurry.
"They're working overtime until now?"
Irin did not expect that so many researchers in the Research Division were still working overtime at this time.
Click, click, click.
Other than the researchers, there were also many well-equipped squads of five patrolling the corridors.
"Are they the special forces field personnel?"
Irin's pupils shrank slightly.
When Irin saw the faces of the special forces field teams in the dark, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
It seemed like …
The number of people in the field teams was a bit too many.
This was definitely not the usual density of defense.
In just a short while, Irin saw four different field teams pass by in front of him.
If such a high level of security was the norm in the Research Division, then the armed forces of the special forces were far beyond Yi Lin's initial expectations.
With doubts, Irin continued to hide behind one of the researchers in the form of a shadow.
As mentioned before, the shadow state under [Shadow Execution] wasn't completely invisible.
Even with [Shadow Stalking]'s ability to reduce his presence, Irin's "shadow" could still be seen with the naked eye.
Even the researchers and special forces passing by wouldn't notice the existence of the shadow due to the effect of [Shadow Stalking].
But if Irin moved in a way that was too obvious, it would definitely attract the attention of the surveillance cameras.
Therefore, quietly hiding in the shadows of the researchers passing by was the safest way to proceed.
At this moment.
In the distance.
There was a faint sound.
"Did you find anything unusual?"
"Nothing unusual in area I."
"Nothing unusual in area F."
"Nothing unusual in area B."
"Nothing unusual in area A."
"…"
In the communication channel, there were calls one after another.
"Strange, is the other party's target really …"
At the corner of the corridor, a cold female voice was heard.
"Hey, I don't think it's possible. This place is known as an impenetrable fortress. Who could sneak in without being noticed? This is ridiculous. "
After the female voice, a voice that was 30% wretched, 30% ingratiating, 30% serious, and 30% deeply hidden sinister followed.
"Heh, there are countless capable people in the circle, and all kinds of strange abilities are endless. Don't underestimate everyone."
"Xiao Meng, you're right!"
"Moreover," the woman paused for a moment, "Let's not talk about the others for now. It's just that someone in our group has been analyzed to have a 74% chance of being proficient in stealth skills. "
"Are you talking about Irin? Heh, let's not talk about that kid not being interested in this place. Besides, he's currently carrying out a mission in Cangyang City. Today, he arrived in Cangyang City via the Ground Net. Don't think too much. "
..
Irin was shocked.
Her whole body trembled.
Her shadow trembled.
The reason why Irin was surprised was not because the man and woman mentioned her name.
But … their identities.
From the sound of their voices from afar, Irin had already recognized their identities.
Yu Meng, Zhao Yulong.
Why would they appear here?
Tonight, at this time, this moment, this place?
"How is this possible?"
Even Molly thought that he had run to Cangyang City to carry out a mission and was not in the capital.
However, from Yu Meng's tone, it was clear that she had received news in advance that "someone" might invade the top-secret institution of the Research Division tonight.
"Could it be that it's the same as other people's' operations'?"
Irin thought of his luck attribute and subconsciously came up with such a ridiculous idea.
But soon, Irin quickly overturned it.
"It can't be. I'm just here to secretly take the 'Star Steel allocation list'. Logically speaking, this document shouldn't be that important. Why are even Yu Meng and Zhao Yulong here? "
No wonder there were so many security forces here that Irin felt that something was wrong.
Irin temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart. With curiosity, he continued to follow the shadow of a researcher and quietly approached.
The researcher, Yu Meng, and Zhao Yulong brushed past each other.
They greeted each other.
Zhao Yulong and Yu Meng were still talking in low voices.
"The 'GM' sent a special warning. It shouldn't be fake."
"The man who calls himself the 'GM' is too mysterious. For so many years, we didn't even know his true face and the real purpose of acting as a 'special consultant' in the identity of the 'GM'. To be honest, I've never really believed him. This time, he suddenly sent a warning. Will there be any … "
Yu Meng shook her head and interrupted Zhao Yulong's words. "No matter what, since he issued a warning, it's better to believe it than not. In Area S … it can't be leaked. "
Zhao Yulong seemed to have thought of something. He smiled bitterly, and a trace of haze flashed in his eyes.
The two of them walked further and further away. After walking for about ten meters, their voices gradually became less clear.
"Document D4516 still can't be passed by the Parliament?"
"In the last Z5 Parliament, the most mysterious Ying Enterprises abstained from voting on the proposal on document D4516. And the Zhu family and your Yu family strongly pushed for this matter. The Li family and our Zhao family voted against it. This is actually the expected result. "
"Oh, as expected, the key lies in your Zhao family's vote?" Yu Meng looked back meaningfully and stared into Zhao Yulong's eyes.
Zhao Yulong took a deep breath. "I'm not in charge of the Zhao family now."
"What a pity."
Yu Meng looked away with an indifferent expression.
"Moreover, the team leader will definitely not agree to do this. After all, the proposal on document D4516 is really too … "
Suddenly.
Just as Zhao Yulong was about to say something.
Yu Meng's expression changed. With lightning speed, she covered Zhao Yulong's mouth.
After stopping Zhao Yulong from speaking in a low voice, Yu Meng's eyes were cold. She turned around and shouted in the direction of Irin.
"Stop."
In an instant, an invisible and terrifying pressure came from all directions and squeezed toward the dumbfounded researcher.
After dealing with all the hidden sentries, this group of people silently surrounded Molly's laboratory. They took out various types of weapons from the gaps under their leather coats. They were equipped with high-concentration anesthetic guns. Even an elephant would be knocked down with one shot. It was convenient, fast, simple, and easy to use.
"Everyone, get ready, move …"
Just as this group of people was about to break into Molly's laboratory.
Yu Liexin suddenly shouted in the secret internal channel to stop this strange intrusion.
"No … wait."
