Chapter 436 Intense Sparks Between the Spiritual Sides
Yi Lin didn't quite understand why the area in front of her that didn't exist on the surface was named after the letter "S".
But after thinking about it, it was nothing more than catering to the taste of the apostles.
In the eyes of the apostles, "S" always means awesome.
Or - "Secret?"
"Super?"
But no matter what, there must be a big secret hidden inside.
Otherwise, Yu Meng and Zhao Yulong would not appear here at the same time after being warned by the "GM".
"Beep beep——"
Face, fingerprint, password, iris, Yu Meng opened the door with four-factor authentication.
"Wheeze—"
On the verification panel of the heavy metal door, electronic light flickered, air pressure gushed out, and then slowly moved away to the sides.
Zhao Yulong suddenly sighed and stopped walking.
"I... won't go in."
While talking, Zhao Yulong subconsciously groped his body. After fumbling for a few seconds, he finally found a crumpled cigarette from his trouser pocket.
With an indifferent expression, Yu Meng glanced at Zhao Yulong.
"Didn't you say quit smoking?"
"Hey, I'm addicted to cigarettes, just one, the last one." Zhao Yulong laughed dryly, and skillfully lit the cigarette, the index finger and middle finger holding the cigarette trembled slightly.
Yu Meng didn't say much, turned around and stepped into the door.
Behind Yu Meng, in the corridor that could not be seen at a glance, only Zhao Yulong with a sad expression and the flickering fire at his fingertips remained.
Yi Lin followed Yu Meng cautiously.
Don't be careless.
Behind the metal door marked "S Area", there is another passage.
On both sides of the passage, after Yu Meng walked in, a large amount of gas suddenly spewed out.
Yi Lin's expression was solemn at first, and she subconsciously held her breath in the shadow, but he also realized it after a while.
——Is this disinfecting?
Yu Meng walked through the disinfection tunnel expressionlessly.
But at the end of the passage, Yu Meng paused, closed her eyes, and said in a cold voice:
"Come out."
"!"
In an instant, a "fault" appeared between the surface of Yu Meng's body and the "disinfectant gas".
"not good!"
Yi Lin suddenly felt that the sky and the earth were spinning in front of her eyes, and stars appeared in her eyes.
This is not just a sanitizing gas!
It has ether mixed in!
Sure enough, there is a fraud!
Yi Lin bit her tongue, the painful stimulation made Yi Lin wake up a little bit in a short time. Fortunately, Yi Lin knew that Yu Meng was not that easy to deal with. Even if she maintained the two sky-defying skills of [Shadow Slay] and [Shadow Follow], she did not dare to relax her vigilance and maintained a state of high concentration.
When the disinfection gas was sprayed out, although Yi Lin inhaled a little, the amount was not too much, and her breath was held very timely.
Yu Meng isolated the gas, and chuckled lightly: "This is a high-concentration ether gas. Anyone who takes a full breath will be completely unconscious. Even high-level power-side apostles."
while talking,
Yu Meng quickly stuck to the wall, leaned against the wall, and glanced coldly at the only disinfection channel in front of her.
Let me add a word, it's really good, it's worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!
Yu Meng waited for a full three minutes.
After Yi Lin felt dizzy at first, the discomfort in her body quickly disappeared after a few seconds.
Yu Meng was right.
As long as it is a human being, taking a sip may directly pass out.
Unless it's not human.
Yi Lin, who was silently lurking in the dark, couldn't help giving a thumbs up to her "mixed blood".
In his mixed blood, most of the characteristics of the "dionysian factor" were retained, and he had a certain resistance to that ether.
After waiting for five minutes, the imaginary "lurker" did not appear, Yu Meng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the closed disinfection passage door again.
What a sinister woman!
Yi Lin secretly sighed.
He figured it out now.
When entering a password at the entrance, there must be two different versions of the password.
Although these two versions of the password can open the passage door.
But one of them is the normal opening method, and the other, just like the current situation, is mixed with a high concentration of ether in the disinfection gas. If another apostle who was not vigilant enough and was also good at sneaking came, he would probably have fallen for Yu Meng's tricks under his carelessness.
After this brief interlude, Yu Meng seemed to be finally convinced that the intruder in the "GM" warning was not following her.
"Nothing unusual."
Yu Meng said softly to the air.
It seemed to be speaking to Zhao Yulong who was smoking outside the door.
Yu Meng quickly walked into the women's locker room.
Yi Lin hesitated for a few seconds, in order to avoid being lost, he could only bite the bullet and slip in.
But luckily.
The embarrassing scene did not appear bloody.
Yu Meng put an isolation suit on her body, left the dressing room, and walked into the bright and majestic laboratory.
Seeing Yu Meng being so cautious, Yi Lin subconsciously wondered if some kind of terrifying virus experiment was being done in this area, and if it leaked, everyone would be wiped out.
"Most of the way the virus spreads is through contact and respiratory transmission. As long as you hold your breath and stay in the shadow, the problem should not be a big problem."
They have already come here, it would be a pity to give up and retreat now.
Yi Lin believed that there must be something hidden here.
If the mysterious "GM" hadn't sent Zhao Yulong and Yu Meng a warning of "intruders" by chance, Yi Lin might not have discovered this place.
After all, his original purpose was to borrow a trivial file from the main computer of Area A.
Compared with the secrets hidden in the S area, it's like a girl meets a young woman, a scallop meets a lobster, so it's not worth mentioning.
Yi Lin is usually not a gossip person.
But the secrets of Area S are enough to arouse his curiosity.
Yi Lin slipped in quietly.
Follow behind Yu Meng.
Yu Meng was wearing a bulky isolation suit and walked in quickly.
Yi Lin lurks in the shadow, and suddenly sees the light.
In just a split second, Yi Lin froze in place.
He held his breath, unable to recover for a long time.
Yu Meng had already walked to the researcher who was busy in the laboratory and was also wearing an isolation suit, and whispered something.
Yi Lin was in no mood to eavesdrop at the moment, what was going on between Yu Meng and the researcher.
because,
The scene in front of him is enough to explain everything.
In the bright underground research institute, there are many transparent life-support cabins.
In the life-support cabins that glowed with green light, there were countless people suspended.
— People with mutilated limbs.
Some were replaced with metal prosthetics.
Some people's eyes were replaced with red metal prosthetic eyes.
Some people writhed in pain in the life support cabin with their skin festered all over their bodies, but they couldn't make any sound.
Some people have only half of their body left, and even their internal organs are floating in the nutrient solution, but the regular rise and fall of the chest can still prove that they are still alive.
This scene seemed familiar.
After two full minutes of silence, and Yi Lin held her breath for two full minutes, Yi Lin took a deep breath.
"I see."
...
...
After one hour.
Yu Meng took off the isolation suit skillfully.
Following Yu Meng's thought, the contaminated isolation suit floated into the discarded box for medical contaminated waste.
"How about it?"
In front of the gate of Area S, Zhao Yulong was hastily spraying men's cologne on his body, trying to cover up the pungent smell of cigarettes on his body.
Yu Meng frowned, glanced at the trampled cigarette butts on the ground indiscriminately, but didn't say anything about it, just shook her head:
"There should be no 'intruder'. It's hard for me to imagine that someone can avoid the 'perception' of the two of us. And I used a Class B emergency plan in the passage, the concentration of ether, in unsuspecting situations, Enough to expose any lurkers."
Zhao Yulong heaved a long sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Yu Meng's frown did not relax.
He bowed his head and muttered to himself: "But I'm still very surprised, if there is no so-called 'intruder', that special adviser who hides his head and shows his tail, who hasn't shown up for so long, why would he suddenly choose today to warn us. I have never Don't think he's really on our 'side'."
Zhao Yulong smiled: "Maybe there was originally, but when we strengthened our security overtly and covertly, the other party noticed and canceled the plan to invade."
"It's possible." Yu Meng did not deny Zhao Yulong's speculation. And judging from the current situation, Zhao Yulong's speculation is also the most reasonable.
"Let's go."
"However," Yu Meng's eyes flickered, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "This place is no longer safe. We must find a way to get all the personnel and the 'experiment' to evacuate here."
Zhao Yulong smiled wryly, but didn't say much.
To be on the safe side, the two searched every area again.
Under the perception of the two spiritual apostles, all hidden people will have nowhere to hide.
Although Zhao Yulong and Yu Meng didn't say much after that.
Besides Yu Meng, Zhao Yulong also felt that there was something strange about what happened tonight.
Always feel that something is wrong.
But for a while, he couldn't speak.
If something happened in the end, they might not have this "strange" feeling.
But after a lot of tossing, there was no danger in the end. This feeling was like stabbing a bullet into the wall with all the strength, which was very painful.
It was already late at night when Zhao Yulong walked out of the Scientific Research Department.
Before leaving, he even went to check all the surveillance videos and found nothing unusual.
"Is it really just a false alarm?"
Zhao Yulong wiped the sweat from his forehead in surprise.
It was already late at night.
After bidding farewell to Yu Meng, Zhao Yulong was walking alone on the lonely street. He suddenly remembered something, and quickly opened the communication panel. After a moment of hesitation, he still sent a message.
"Hey! What are you doing? Have you tried the local special sword service in Cangyang City? If you need this, I can introduce it to you in private. Of course, it cannot be reimbursed."
"roll."
Over two thousand kilometers away, Yi Lin's voice rang in Zhao Yulong's ears without any delay.
"I'm busy."
"What are you busy with?"
"I'm at the home of the last victim, what do you think I'm busy with?"
Yi Lin's voice sounded a little angry.
angry?
Just be angry.
Zhao Yulong exchanged a few more pleasantries, it seemed that the more Yi Lin complained and the more unhappy his tone, the more comfortable he felt. Zhao Yulong didn't have the slightest awareness that "this mental state is a bit abnormal", so he grinned happily.
Afterwards, Zhao Yulong confirmed with Yuan Zhiye and Wang Bing respectively.
Yi Lin is indeed in Cangyang City, that's right.
"It seems that it really has nothing to do with him, besides, he won't come here to make trouble if he has nothing to do."
He closed his eyes for a while.
Zhao Yulong was very emotional:
"It's really a hard-working and good employee!"
...
...
After finishing the call with Zhao Yulong, Yi Lin looked indifferent, thinking about what she had seen and heard in the Research Department an hour ago.
Unexpectedly, this kind of research is actually being done in the S area of the scientific research department.
It's no wonder that after copying Xiao's family, there was no further information about the Gospel Church.
Yu Meng.
Zhao Yulong.
specific group.
There is no enemy.
Names flashed in Yi Lin's mind.
Mo Rendi should not know about this.
But why did Zhao Yulong hide it from Mo Rendi?
Maybe if Mo Rendi found out, Zhao Yulong would be punched to death?
The future that Yi Lin is about to experience seems to be heading towards a direction that completely makes Yi Lin feel strange after Henry Zhang's death.
Everything has changed.
Not just everything around him.
And this world.
Yi Lin suddenly remembered the words of Uranus:
"Since you have no concept of the future, it is meaningless for you to ask this question."
yes,
Meaningless.
etc.
Yi Lin's heart skipped a beat.
It seems that in the vague conversation between Yu Meng and Zhao Yulong, apart from the secrets hidden in the S area, they also mentioned one thing.
- "Document D4516".
"It seems that there are more and more troublesome things."
In the darkness, Yi Lin's eyes flickered and she murmured in a low voice.
After leaving the capital, Yi Lin directly used reverse teleportation to return to Cangyang City from Molly's laboratory without disturbing anyone.
Before leaving, Yi Lin quietly put the USB flash drive that copied the relevant information of "Star Steel" under Molly's pillow.
But after what happened tonight, the mere ownership of Xingchen Steel seems to have become less important.
While talking with Zhao Yulong.
Yi Lin didn't fool around, she was telling the truth.
He did use the fastest speed to reach the residence of the last deceased.
In any case, in order not to arouse Zhao Yulong's suspicion, this "leech legion serial murder case" in Cangyang City must be resolved.
I really can't solve it anymore.
Yi Lin can't sort out everything about the area S on the D4 floor of the Scientific Research Department, so she can only put it aside for the time being.
Erin took a deep breath.
Yu Meng's strength at this time was indeed as he had guessed at first, he had already broken through the first layer of spiritual locks and reached the extraordinary realm.
The "thought power" displayed at will is the proof.
Once the spirit lock is unlocked, the "spirit" is no longer invisible and colorless, but has evolved into a substantial force.
Silently, Yi Lin waved her palm in the air, facing the camera at the door of Gao Chengwen's house, and slowly swayed to another angle.
After avoiding the sight of the camera, Yi Lin easily entered the deceased's house.
Originally, this time, Yi Lin, as an "official person", had full authority to follow normal procedures to enter the scene for investigation. But because she was too hasty, Yi Lin didn't bother to ask Yuan Zhiye to apply for the relevant procedures, so she came here to have a look first. Otherwise, it would not match what Zhao Yulong said, and Zhao Yulong would inevitably be suspicious.
The moment you enter the house, the AI welcome voice sounds, soft lights come on one after another, and classical music plays melodiously.
Before ventilating, Yi Lin clearly smelled a strange and unpleasant stench in the air.
Because apart from the removal of the corpse, the current scene still maintains the appearance of the deceased before his death and has not been cleaned up.
Twenty minutes later.
Yi Lin has already searched the whole house, and found many small details that were omitted in the report.
"Knock knock knock."
suddenly.
There was a knock on the door.
Yi Lin sensed the tentacles sticking out, and when she heard about the visitor, she just smiled and opened the door without hesitation.
At the moment of opening the door.
A tall and thin man stood quietly in the darkness.
The man was wearing a dark suit with a shirt inside and the top two buttons were unbuttoned casually. Slightly curly bangs, covering the eyebrows, cast dark shadows above the eyes. He even wore thin black gloves on his hands, obviously coming prepared.
"Erin?"
"Gu Tianqing?"
With just one look, the two confirmed each other's identities.
This is the first time that Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing met in reality after their trial in the Caribbean Sea.
And that trial was in a special "role-playing" mode. Yi Lin had never met Gu Tianqing himself, but the fake smile on the man's face and the looming coldness in his eyes made Yi Lin quickly confirm Gu Tianqing's identity.
same.
For Gu Tianqing, Yi Lin existed in the role of "Elizabeth Lin" in that trial. But at first glance, Gu Tianqing also confirmed Yi Lin's identity, without even needing an introduction or saying anything.
At this moment, the two men who had been intriguing and almost sparked in the trial, had a rare situation where they had a tacit understanding, and they came up with the same idea.
——"This kind of smirk without any sense of disobedience is definitely him, and there is nothing wrong with it."
...
The two looked at each other and smiled.
There is a lot of meaning in the smile.
Gu Tianqing stood at the door and smiled gracefully: "Do you mean to say 'please come in'?"
"Do you like it or not."
Yi Lin turned around immediately and gave Gu Tianqing a cold back of the head.
"..."
Gu Tianqing's smile froze.
Still went in.
It really doesn't matter whether you invite me or not.
Gu Tianqing was just talking casually.
I didn't expect Yi Lin to be so shameless.
"Okay, you owe me a big favor."
Yi Lin emphasized seriously.
Gu Tianqing chuckled, neither denied nor admitted, and changed the subject mellowly: "My divination is not wrong, what I'm looking for is indeed in the 'friend at sea'."
"I can only say not necessarily."
After Gu Tianqing entered the house, she searched around at the fastest speed.
Yi Lin's eyes flickered.
Gu Tianqing's search route was almost exactly the same as his.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Yi Lin even wondered if Gu Tianqing had secretly read the top-secret information of the special group.
"You are very skilled."
Yi Lin smiled and broke the silence.
"so so."
Gu Tianqing just came out of the bathroom, while answering Yi Lin's words, she frowned and kept rubbing her right thumb and index finger. From the glove he was rubbing, some fine powder floated down.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Tianqing looked into Yi Lin's eyes and said with a smile, "You really don't intend to provide any information?"
"Heh, the deceased, male, Gao Chengwen, 35 years old, worked in a canned food company, an ordinary employee, single, and lived alone. This is also the eleventh deceased."
"Death?"
With a flick of Yi Lin's finger, a pre-developed photo swirled towards Gu Tianqing.
On the photo, it is a photo of the deceased.
The top secret kind.
Gu Tianqing narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding the light in her eyes, staring at the photo in her hand for a moment, and then slowly let out a breath: "It's interesting."
"Is this favor worth it?"
"Not bad. What do you think about the murderer?"
"not human."
"It's the same as I thought." Gu Tianqing blinked and smiled.
"..."
"After inspecting the scene at the beginning, I wasn't too sure, but after seeing the photos of the deceased with my own eyes, I'm already certain."
"Tell me."
Gu Tianqing walked into the bedroom of the deceased and pointed to the corner near the window.
"The place and posture of the death were outlined by the police, there is no problem, it should be there." Gu Tianqing stepped forward and said as he walked, "It can be seen that the deceased should have been in a very strong state of fear before dying. "
Yi Lin continued: "Well, the design of this kind of window is a safety structure to prevent falling from the building, and there is no way to jump off. On the edge of the window, there are traces of hard friction. The traces are very fresh, and it should be before death. Happened. There was a faint blood stain on the edge of the window, which should be left by accidentally pinching a finger when shaking the window vigorously."
Gu Tianqing smiled: "When human beings are extremely afraid, they will always subconsciously look for the place where they feel safest. In this closed room, there are only two places where the dead feel safest. One is here , the bedroom of the dead, and another..."
"The only exit." Yi Lin quickly answered.
After a moment of silence, Gu Tianqing continued to analyze: "But according to the normal situation, when a person is facing a crisis, even when he is extremely flustered, the first thing he thinks of is the exit instead of locking himself in the bedroom."
Yi Lin: "There is only one possibility. The position where he was at that time and the position of the exit were blocked."
Gu Tianqing raised the photo of the deceased in his hand, smiled and said: "Let's talk about the cause of death of the deceased. This kind of corpse like a 'mummy' can only be caused by the rapid loss of water in the body, including blood, in a very short period of time. And the dense wounds on the deceased's body are hard to imagine being done by 'human beings', it's more like a living thing."
"Leech." Yi Lin didn't hold back, and directly stated her speculation.
"Sure enough." Gu Tianqing's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded, with no surprise on his expression: "This is located in the south, and the climate is warm and humid. 'Unusual' factors, it all makes sense."
"In summary, when the deceased was alone at home, there were a large number of leeches, an unimaginable number, enough to make the deceased's scalp tingle instantly. The army of leeches blocked the exit of the 'dead' and ' ', so the only way for the dead is to lock himself in the room and ask for help."
"But before the deceased died, the police did not receive any distress information." Gu Tianqing walked to the bedroom door, closed the door, and then bent down to check the gap between the door and the ground, without pausing, and continued: "Suppose the deceased At first, I thought that this bedroom door was enough to resist the leeches, but it failed in the end. It shows that the time interval between the time when the deceased closes the door tightly and the time when the army of leeches breaks through the door is extremely short, so short that the deceased has no time to go The point of calling for help."
"This also shows that these leeches seem to be directed by someone secretly. If it is a purely soft-bodied creature, it is impossible to have this kind of discipline. It can even change shape and quickly get into the gap less than 0.5cm. Then The picture is kind of disgusting."
Each of the two said a sentence, clearly recreating the various experiences of the deceased before his death.
While talking, Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing walked out of the deceased's bedroom one after another.
Gu Tianqing smiled and said, "Based on these simple clues, I think you should already know the channel through which the group of leeches invaded here."
"Well, the sewers."
Yi Lin pointed in the direction of the bathroom and said softly.
This is not difficult.
