The next day, Wang Xu and Qi Bing were called to the principal's office by the radio during class.
As soon as they pushed the door open and entered, four big men in straight suits immediately blocked the door. But how could Wang Xu and Qi Bing not know how many people were in the room? They had already been mentally prepared and still behaved calmly, even if
These four men immediately took out their submachine guns and fired at them, but it would definitely not hurt them at all.
A middle-aged man was facing away from them, sitting opposite the principal's desk drinking coffee. At this time, he slowly turned around: "Don't be nervous, you two. I am the captain of this city's special police team. My surname is Zhang. I would like to invite you to follow me."
Go back and just answer a few questions."
Wang Xu was disdainful: "Are you a policeman? Who are you trying to bluff? For this battle... at least at the level of the National Security Bureau, right? Maybe it's someone from Midnight pretending to be..."
Qi Bing had no expression on his face: "Okay, let's go now." He could only reply like this, because the principal looked at him with fear and suspicion in his eyes, and he didn't know how much Captain Zhang had spread about him and Wang Xu.
Rumors of evildoing.
Not long after, the two of them were already sitting in a black stretch car. In a school like Xiangyi, even an extra-long Lincoln car is not too eye-catching. Many parents of students here take such cars.
Yes, therefore, they left the school quietly without attracting any attention.
Wang Xu and Qi Bing sat side by side opposite Captain Zhang. When the car drove away from the school, Wang Xu was the first to speak: "Old Zhang, can you reveal your true identity now?"
Captain Zhang sat upright and spoke in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "When you meet my boss, you will naturally know our identities. What I can tell you now is that we are affiliated with the government and represent the national interests. I hope you can cooperate with our work.
"
Wang Xu looked back at Qi Bing, and then realized that he seemed to have done something unnecessary, because his attitude could not be seen from his face. If Qi Bing did not want to go with them, he would have taken action long ago, so Wang Xu shut up.
, continue to wait.
Many people think that those national secret agencies must have a very hidden base, either in the desert or in a certain military region. Anyway, it is far away from the people, and it has to be built underground, so that even air strikes cannot find the target.
But the reality is that Wang Xu and the others' destination is in the urban area of City S. The location is not prosperous, but it cannot be called remote. A building with more than ten floors does not look like a residential building or a business building.
The building can be said to be a factory or a warehouse. There is a wall outside the building, but there is no barbed wire on the wall, let alone the high-voltage power grid in Wang Xu's fantasy...
There are some parking spaces in the wall. The old man who is looking at the gate seems approachable and affable. He is sitting in the gate room drinking tea and reading a newspaper. When Wang Xu and the others' car drove up to the gate, he and the driver waved to each other.
He said hello and pressed the switch of the electronic door.
After the car parked, Wang Xu and Qi Bing followed Captain Zhang out of the car. They came to the door of the building. Of course, the door was not protected by the laser rays that Wang Xu imagined... But when they walked into the building, they finally
I saw something special, because behind that door, apart from an elevator, there were only walls on both sides.
The four burly men in suits did not follow. Only Wang Xu and the other three filed in together. To start the elevator, the captain's fingerprint, voiceprint, and pupil triple insurance were required to start the elevator. Besides, in addition to the two buttons for opening and closing the door, there were only two buttons in the elevator.
There is only one floor key left to choose from.
"If most people are invited here, they have to put on a hood before reaching the final room, but your situation is special, so we don't do it this way." Captain Zhang explained.
Wang Xu sneered in his heart: "You still want to put a hood on Lao Qi? Believe it or not, he will freeze your head into an ice mahjong first."
What Qi Bing is thinking about at this moment is that the designers here are really smart. There are no signs on the outside of the building, and it is built in the city. It feels like it is hidden in the city. It's like you pass by a certain place every day when you go home from get off work. It's a commercial building, but you never care about what companies are there and what business they are doing.
Therefore, this extremely confidential organization is located here, but it seems to be invisible. I really lament the indifference of today's society... and those who know how to use the indifference of people to facilitate their actions...
The elevator door opened, and in front of them was a snow-white corridor with dozens of doors neatly lined up on both sides. It looked quite like the passage in the matrix in The Matrix, except that the end of this corridor could be seen, and Wang
They were going to the last room.
Captain Zhang turned the doorknob, and he was the first to walk into the room, then turned around and said, "Please come in."
Wang Xu and Qi Bing exchanged glances, and then stepped into the room. As soon as Wang Xu saw the two people in the room, he screamed: "Why are you two here?!"
Mr. Cat turned around and said, "Lao Shang invited me to play chess. Isn't this what the game is about?"
When Shang Weiguo saw Wang Xu coming in, he put down the chess piece in his hand: "Come with me." He stood up and opened another door in the room, seemingly preparing to invite Wang Xu into the small dark room.
Talk.
Qi Bing asked: "What on earth is going on?"
Mr. Cat weakly waved his hand at him: "Sit down and continue with me, and I'll tell you."
Captain Zhang had closed the door and left at some point, and Qi Bing actually sat down to play chess with Mr. Cat. Wang Xu's brain was a little short-circuited for a moment, and he was dragged into the next room by Shang Weiguo in a daze.
The strange thing is that the room next door is exactly the same as the room where Mr. Cat was just now. They are all very ordinary office layouts, the same furniture, the same decoration, and even the placement of things on the table is just like in the mirror.
Same as reflection.
Wang Xu didn't know the significance of such an arrangement. He asked the question he was most interested in at this moment: "Well...Uncle Shang...aren't you engaged in antique trading? Why are you here?"
Shang Weiguo did not answer the question, but looked at Wang Xu: "You really don't know where my daughter is?"
Wang Xu sighed: "If I knew, I would have gone to find her long ago..."
In fact, Shang Weiguo had already asked Mr. Cat this question, and it could be seen from Wang Xu's eyes that he was not lying.
"So, do you know why she left?"
Wang Xu laughed dryly: "I really don't know..."
"Then what do you know?"
"I……"
"Are you going to tell me that you don't know anything?"
Wang Xu only knows one thing, that is, Shang Weiguo is very dissatisfied with his future son-in-law, and now it seems that he does have reason to be dissatisfied...
"Hey... well..." Shang Weiguo sat down and lit a cigarette for himself.
In fact, Wang Xu felt aggrieved. His girlfriend ran away and there was no news. He had no choice but to continue "working" to distract himself after that. But now Lao Shang mentioned this matter again.
The implication is that he was very incompetent as a boyfriend and had unshirkable responsibility for Shang Lingxue's departure.
Shang Weiguo blew out smoke: "First of all, let me clarify my identity. The name of our department is 'Department 9'. It has nothing to do with any other government agency. Whether it is the police, the procuratorate, the army, or the National Security Bureau, we are all looking for
We have no information about our department and have no right to interfere with our actions, but we can use very convenient procedures to get them to cooperate with us. It can be said that we have the highest law enforcement authority in the land of China.
And I am the person in charge of City S. I am usually a businessman, but when necessary, I can be a soldier or even a killer."
Wang Xu did not show any surprised expression, because he was already a little too frightened...
Shang Weiguo continued: "Twenty-one years ago, our department was formally established. At that time, the government selected a group of people from the army, armed police, ordinary police and some special talents as veteran members of the ninth section.
I am one of them, and our job is unprecedented, which is to investigate all events that cannot be explained by science and ensure that these supernatural things do not endanger national security.
Over the years, our work has never slackened. We have investigated ghost hunters, marginalized people, superpowers, and even the existence of the Yin and Yang world, but it is difficult for us to intervene in this world because we are just a group of mortals.
The best special forces soldiers are as powerless as children in the face of psychic or superpowers."
He took another deep drag on the cigarette: "Until ten years ago, there was a man named Yu An, the old man you call Emperor Song. He took the initiative to contact us and reached many agreements with us. Although
It's all verbal, but it's still used today.
The first one is that our Ninth Division cannot disturb the lives of you ghost hunters. We and he quickly reached a consensus on this point, because we must also admit that you are all heroes and you can all make your own decisions.
A hero who saves and protects ordinary people regardless of their life or death.
And he also promised that the ghost hunting world has the obligation to eliminate those scum who use psychic powers to do evil, which is undoubtedly much more effective than our intervention."
Wang Xu laughed coquettishly when he heard this, his expression was like Nohara Shinnosuke saying: "I'm not that good~"
Shang Weiguo really wanted to add: "You are the only one who is not as heroic as a bear". But after all, he is not as mean as Mr. Cat, so he still can't say this...
Wang Xu asked: "So...what is this today..."
Shang Weiguo's face was very solemn: "Today, I have no choice but to come to negotiate with you, because the development of something has been far beyond our control. If we do not rely on your strength, the consequences will be unpredictable.
