Chapter 686: Nighthawk (please vote for the big chapter)
"grandfather!"
At this moment, the ajar door was slowly opened.
The strong fragrance spreads along the open door.
He Ao turned around and looked at the door.
Jia Qian walked into the room carrying two plates and looked up at He Ao, "It's breakfast! The teacher said that you will recover faster if you eat enough."
He Ao looked at the fried steak on the plate, was slightly startled, and said with a smile, "Jia Qian, you fried this?"
"Um,"
Jia Qian nodded, steaming heat lingering around her cheeks with baby fat. She looked at He Ao, "Grandpa, Jia Qian has grown up."
Hearing this sentence, He Ao seemed slightly absent-minded. He stared at the little girl with a childish face in front of him.
After a brief pause, he leaned forward, stretched out his hand, put his arm through his granddaughter's armpit, and hugged her gently, his old cheek touching the girl's soft little face.
Jia Qian slowly closed the arm holding the plate and hugged Grandpa.
There was silence between the two people for what seemed like an instant and what seemed like an unusually long time.
Finally, He Ao slowly let go of his hand, took the steak plate from the girl's hand, and said with a smile, "It seems it's time for us to eat."
"Um!"
Jia Qian nodded slightly.
The two of them walked to the restaurant carrying their plates.
He Ao was cutting the steak while instructing his granddaughter on her practice. In the past, Situ also guided Jiaxi Jiaxi's fitness methods in this way.
Soon, the two of them finished their breakfast.
Ho put the dishes in the dishwasher, put on a new shirt, and picked up the crutches.
After crushing the shell fragment, He Ao could clearly feel that he had established a connection with a being who was not very close to him, and he could roughly identify the other person's location.
And as time goes by, this connection is weakening little by little.
He needs to find the other party before this connection completely dissipates.
Fortunately, this connection does not dissipate quickly.
"grandfather."
And just when he was about to leave, Jia Qian grabbed the corner of his clothes, raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes.
He Ao smiled, opened the door and said, "Jia Qian, go ahead."
The little girl's originally slightly depressed face was stunned for a moment, and then turned into a cute smile the next second, "Okay~"
The two of them left the house one after another, quickly took the elevator into the underground parking lot, found yesterday's off-road vehicle, and drove out.
Jia Qian sat in the back seat, leaning against the car window, staring at the street under the sun outside the window.
Because there are relatively few high-rise factories belonging to the KJIT Group around the northwest city where Sito lives, there is still some sunlight shining on the ground in the surrounding streets.
In fact, it's not that early now, it's close to noon.
It was almost morning when He Ao got home, and in fact he only slept for less than five hours.
However, thanks to his strong physical fitness and soul, these few hours of rest made his physical fatigue disappear.
He Ao reached out and turned on the radio of the off-road vehicle.
"A few days ago, in order to prepare for the second headquarters and escort key equipment, the mercenary group of the Kjet Group has arrived and stationed outside St. John City,"
A voice similar to that of a news anchor came from the radio,
"According to internal information, many of the mercenaries in the mercenary group outside the city are originally from St. John City.
"Currently, the city government is actively communicating with the Kjet Group, trying to obtain a few days of special 'family leave' for mercenaries from St. Jon City during this period of rest and recuperation, so that they can go home to visit their families.
.
"At the same time, a spokesperson for QJET Group stated that they have set up recruitment offices in four urban areas and will conduct large-scale recruitment during the period of renovation.
"The spokesperson said that the Kjet Group is a young group, and the Kjet Mercenary Group is also a young mercenary group. Compared with other super conglomerates of the same level, the Kjet Group's mercenary group is younger.
, is more dynamic, has a lot of development opportunities, and has generous benefits. People with insight are welcome to sign up."
Being young means having little foundation, a small team, and is still developing.
Compared with the established super consortiums, the Kjet Group is indeed too young and has little foundation.
So far, its mercenary group may be considered large compared to ordinary consortiums, but compared to old super consortiums such as Norde and Star Pharmaceuticals, the gap is still very large.
In recent years, Sito has often heard information on the Internet about new recruits for the mercenary group of the Kjet Group.
"After more than two consecutive months of increases, federal grain prices have flattened today. According to the Alliance of Grain Industry Consortiums, since the beginning of this year, due to dry weather and other reasons, the warehouses of many grain industry consortiums have
There were fires all over."
After broadcasting the news about the mercenary group of the Kjet Group, the radio began to broadcast some federal current affairs news, "And a group of older machines have aged to varying degrees this year. A combination of multiple factors has led to this year's
Grain prices and output were low, which ultimately resulted in rising grain prices for two consecutive months..."
······
"The mid-term elections for the Chenxi City Council are coming soon. Affected by the fluctuation of food prices this year, the support rate of the current Chenxi City ruling coalition has dropped from the high level of last year's health care reform.
“Normally, the ruling coalition of Mayor Chenxi is very likely to lose the support of the absolute majority of the city council in the mid-term elections, and go from completely controlling the council to barely controlling the council.
"As time goes by, the internal divisions in the current mayor Christos's ruling coalition seem to be getting more and more serious. Some people believe that Christos may completely lose the parliament in this mid-term election and become a constrained figure.
'The Mayor in a Cage'.
"Now, Christos and his team urgently need some results to save the alliance that is about to collapse."
······
The latest news is constantly playing on the radio.
And He Ao's car kept turning in the gaps in the street.
He would point out the direction of the connection he felt to Eve on the car, and then Eve would plan the shortest way to that direction.
Of course, because there is no exact location, He Ao always advances step by step. After advancing a certain distance, he will sense the location of the mysterious connection.
This kind of segmented planning avoids taking the wrong path, but it is still inevitable that there will be some waste of distance and some detours.
After walking for more than two hours, He Ao bypassed a factory building and turned into a remote alley.
He could vaguely feel that the existence that was connected to him was at the end of this alley.
At the same time, he raised his head and looked forward.
Behind this alley, a tall building stands quietly.
He had been here before, when he was escorting Yin Xiya back.
This building is where the Pollution Cleanup Division branch is located.
Sometimes, the most dangerous places are indeed the safest places.
No matter how much Evolution searched for Nighthawk, he still didn't dare to come to the Pollution Cleanup Department.
He Ao finally stopped in front of a small building at the end of the alley.
He could clearly feel that the person who was connected to him, suspected of being a nighthawk, was in this small building.
To be precise, it's underground in this small building.
By this time, the connection had become quite weak.
He Ao found the underground parking lot of the small building nearby and drove the car in.
There is paid parking and intelligent license plate recognition.
The parking lot seems a bit old, and the facilities look old. The sign on the wall shows that the parking lot has two floors, and He Ao directly entered the second underground floor.
And as he continued to go down, he could feel that he was getting closer and closer to that existence.
"Grandpa, where are we going?"
Jia Qian lay down between the driver's and passenger's seats, stuck her little head out, and looked at the underground parking lot where many of the lights were broken.
"Find someone."
The off-road vehicle moved forward slowly on the second underground floor of the parking lot. He Ao could only barely sense that the being in contact was in front of him, but he was not sure where it was.
Of course, the worst-case scenario is that it exists in the city's sewer system beneath the parking lot.
But He Ao thinks this situation is unlikely.
If that being was really Nighthawk, he would most likely guess that the Evolutionary would go to the sewers to find him.
The normal connection between St. John's sewer system and the ground is not nearby.
So relatively speaking, the underground sewer system and the above-ground pollution cleanup department building are two different spaces. The possibility of being discovered by the pollution cleanup department from evolution in the sewers below is very small.
Then the 'Nighthawk' chose this location close to the Pollution Cleanup Department, so there is no point in being dark under the lights.
He hid in the sewers left by the Pollution Cleanup Department, which is actually the same as hiding in the sewers of other places.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the ‘Nighthawk’ is in this parking lot.
While thinking, He Ao walked to the end of the parking lot.
In the darkness ahead, the outline of a rusty iron door appeared vaguely.
He Ao parked the off-road vehicle in the innermost parking space, got out of the car with Jia Qian, and walked towards the iron gate.
There were very few people in this parking lot, almost no cars, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground.
During the era of price wars between the Kjet Group and major grain industry consortiums, and during the Snava administration, the city of Saint-Jean had a period of relatively prosperous economy.
At that time, there were many cars in St. John's and many parking lots were built.
Now, many of those cars have been sold or mortgaged to banks.
As there are fewer and fewer cars on the road, parking lots in better locations can still survive, while parking lots in remote locations are in a semi-abandoned state.
It has witnessed the prosperity and decline of the city of St. John.
Walking along the dusty road, He Ao quickly arrived at the rusty door.
The trembling invisible weak connection told him that he was very close to the existence on the other end of the connection.
The small door is locked, and there is a rusty small sign embedded on the door, [Warehouse].
The smart lock that locked the door had long been broken, and only the mechanical keyhole with some scratches still showed that the mechanical part of the lock could still be used.
If it is a smart lock, He Ao can find a way for Eve to crack it, but for a purely mechanical lock, Eve cannot crack it directly.
He Ao thought for a moment. He first spread out with his spiritual consciousness, crossed the door, and saw the scene behind the door.
Then he paused slightly, pressed the keyhole with his index finger, and his spiritual consciousness soaked out, and he quickly felt out the structure of the lock core.
Immediately, he found a piece of rusty iron nearby, took out a butterfly knife and whittled the iron piece into a thin key shape.
Finally, he inserted the key into the lock cylinder and turned it gently.
Card--
With a crisp sound, the rusty door was opened easily.
The lock cylinder is easy to twist without much hindrance, which proves that someone has been oiling the mechanical lock cylinder and that this room is occupied by someone "frequently".
Jia Qian, who was on the side, stared at all this with her mouth open. In her eyes, Grandpa opened the door without knowing what he had done.
He Ao saw Jia Qian's expression. He glanced back to the right, signaling Jia Qian to hide behind him.
Jia Qian quickly understood. She put away her surprise and immediately retreated behind He Ao.
After confirming that Jia Qian had pulled away, He Ao slowly opened the rusty iron door. At this moment, a twisted and illusory figure suddenly rushed out from behind the door, opening its bloody mouth towards He Ao's head.
Bite away.
It was a grotesque evil spirit whose body was covered in various twisted bone armors.
He Ao raised the butterfly knife in his hand, covered it with his spiritual consciousness, took a step forward, and the sharp blade passed through the evil spirit's illusory body, destroying its entire body.
Weapons enhanced by spiritual consciousness can hurt spiritual bodies.
At the same time that the evil spirit was killed, the iron door in front of He Ao was slowly opened by him.
A long, cramped room appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
"Grandpa, that's..."
Jia Qian came over and stared into the room.
At the entrance of the room, a hound that was completely black and seemed to blend into the shadows was lying at the door. There was a deep wound on its body. It stared at He Ao who was standing at the door with its eyes wide open.
"Shadow Dog."
He Ao walked over slowly and reached out to wipe the hound's eyes.
It is difficult for a shadow dog to identify with a human being, but once it does, it will live and die with the human being it identifies with until the last moment of its life.
This shadow dog has long since died.
It just lies here to act as a deterrent to those who want to come in at the end.
He Ao lowered his head and glanced at the wounds on the shadow dog. He felt a slight pollution on the shadow dog, as if coming from the winding hills.
The twisted evil spirit just now should be a monster formed by the combination of pollution and the remaining soul fragments of the shadow dog.
"Jia Qian, wait for grandpa at the door."
He Ao looked into the room and said slowly.
There may be items in the house that are more polluting.
"good!"
Jia Qian nodded.
At this moment, He Ao had slowly stood up and walked towards the house.
In the deepest part of this narrow room, there is a small bed with a small desk in front of the bed.
At this moment, a 'man' wearing an iron mask was sitting in front of the desk, leaning against the wall nearby.
His body was covered with scars, and his clothes were covered with red blood.
Just by looking at him, He Ao seemed to be able to hear some chaotic dance music coming from his ears.
But spiritual consciousness cannot see any flow of energy.
This person has been dead for a long time.
Extraordinary strength maintained his body as if he had just died.
Sure enough, it was just as He Ao thought.
The person this broken shell finally contacted was Nighthawk.
He Ao walked to the desk.
The things on the desk are very simple, a pen, a memory chip, and a piece of paper full of words.
He Ao picked up the piece of paper. The handwriting on it was very beautiful. It was handwritten in cursive.
[Hello, my friend, I'm glad you can come here. I don't know how you found me, but I hope we are friends.
When I left this letter, I was about to participate in a battle from which I would probably never return.
However, I had to go, those twisted pollution kept me awake all night, and I knew I couldn't hold on much longer.
I hope that not too long has passed when you find me. The memory card on the desk contains all the information I have obtained from the investigation. If possible, I hope you can send this information to the FBI headquarters, or send it to FBI headquarters.
