The round public speed car stopped at the platform that was raised in the air. The man stepped out of the public speed car, pressed the hat that covered his half-bald head, and walked along the rainbow sky street towards the apartment building where his home was. The public speed car was leaving the Security Bureau.
There is a stop 300 meters away from the secret base. After getting off the bus, you only need to walk less than a kilometer to Tianjie to get home, so he always takes public buses.
The middle-aged man's apartment is not big, with three rooms, which is already above the middle-class level on Planet 5, where land is at a premium. It was already late at night, the two children had gone to bed, and the woman was busy preparing him for the trip.
meals.
The man came to the study room, which was only a few square meters, opened the secret compartment on the wall, took out a stack of different documents, and put them on the table. He took out the documents in his pocket, opened them and looked at them.
Next to his photo on the ID, it only shows the words 39th Bureau 7th Internal Affairs Office, and his name is Ding Yi. He looks very young in the photo, at least he has thick hair, but this photo was already 20 years ago.
At that time, Ding Yi had just used all his strength and was lucky enough to be admitted to the Security Bureau and become a civil servant. Unexpectedly, 20 years had passed in the blink of an eye.
His fingers ran over the document, and the photo immediately changed, showing his current appearance, slightly bald, with saggy skin, and a look of exhaustion in his eyes.
He put down his ID, picked out a pile of IDs, and took one. The photo on this ID was of an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. His face was too ordinary and it showed that it had not undergone advanced genetic optimization. He had never gone through advanced genetic optimization.
A small sticky particle was torn off from the back of the document and placed in a water cup. The small particle expanded rapidly when exposed to water and turned into a mask in the blink of an eye. The man picked up the mask and slowly covered his face. After a while, he had become
The person in the ID photo.
Ding Yi took out a small pistol and a dagger from the hidden compartment, checked them, and put them in the bag.
The woman had prepared the meal, walked in, and saw the pistol and dagger in the bag. Ding turned around and smiled. Facing the man who had completely changed his appearance, the woman was not surprised. She had had many encounters in the past.
Similar experience.
She forced a smile and said, "You have never carried a weapon before."
"This mission is a bit special, but it's actually not dangerous. Don't worry. After all, I am an expert." Ding Yi paused for a while and then said: "People always have to change. Ah Heng needs to go to a better school.
We have lived in this house for more than ten years. Once we complete this task, everything will be fine for us, and I won’t need to go out for work in the future.”
"Is there really no danger? I don't need a big house. Ah Heng can go to a school he can go to. We don't have to compare with anyone!" The woman's voice was a little strange.
Ding Yi was silent again, then smiled and said, "They don't dare to let me go on such a dangerous mission!"
The woman thought so, so she didn't say anything, and she knew that there would be no result if she said it. Ding looked at the time and realized that it was too late to eat, so he picked up his bag and left the house. There was already a car on Tianjie not far away.
An unmarked speed car is waiting there.
Before getting on the flying car, he looked back at the apartment building and looked at the room with the lights on, and then got on the flying car. He knew that this mission could not be refused.
Times have changed, for him.
In Laizhou City, Yueyongxing, a taxi drove into Linhai District. After driving along Linhai Highway for a while, it turned into a quiet tree-lined road. There are independent houses on both sides of the road. They are not big, but they have
It has its own small courtyard with different scenery, elegance and tranquility. This community touches the edge of a wealthy area, but it is not really a wealthy area.
An ordinary-looking middle-aged man got out of the taxi, carrying an old-fashioned briefcase, came to a small building, and pressed the doorbell. There was no response in the room, so he pressed it twice more and waited patiently. At this time, the neighbor
An old man walked out of the house and looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man raised the briefcase in his hand and said, "I am an investigator from a pension fund. I want to investigate the current physical condition of the residents here."
"Oh, he moved away last month. He said he was going back to his old house and he wasn't used to living here."
"Old house? Okay, I understand, thank you."
The middle-aged man got back in the taxi and left the community. He opened his personal terminal and another address was displayed. It was an old-fashioned apartment on the edge of the industrial area, and the conditions could only be described as poor. The house here is Chu Jun's
It was originally bought, but it seems that the old man couldn't get used to it and moved back to the original place.
Ding Yi, who transformed into an ordinary middle-aged man, pulled up a relationship diagram. There were six people on it, all of whom were elderly and had different experiences. These old people lived in the same building as Chu Longtu and often had some contact with each other.
One of them caught Ding Yi’s attention: Qiao Liang, 61 years old, 197cm, who served in the Dynasty Special Forces for 7 years. After retiring, he worked in many jobs and had no fixed residence. Now he often goes to the shooting range to practice shooting.
There were three registered guns in the home.
Several people live on different floors, ranging from the 2nd to the 30th floor.
The taxi quickly drove to the edge of the industrial area. There was a layer of misty gray over the city here, and the neighborhoods looked dilapidated. As the mineral veins dried up, the number of residents in this urban area was decreasing year by year, and there were many homeless or unemployed people.
Poor people moved in, making neighborhoods cluttered and dangerous.
Ding Yi walked into the apartment building, took the elevator all the way to the 24th floor, then walked through the dark corridor, and finally stopped in a unit. The door of this unit was very thin and used an old-fashioned mechanical lock. This is not possible on ordinary planets.
It is very common in civilian areas that electronic locks or smart locks often malfunction, and many people are unwilling to pay repairmen.
Ding Yi knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened, and an old man with a face full of vicissitudes of life, but still vaguely majestic appeared.
"Is it Mr. Chu Longtu? I am an investigator from a pension fund. You were selected in this year's random inspection, so I need to do a simple survey on you and ask some questions."
Chu Longtu nodded, opened the door and said, "Come in."
Ding walked into the room and looked around. The room was not big, the layout was very old, and there were many old-fashioned furniture, all of the style from hundreds of years ago. Although the room was simple, it was very neat, but it was a little cold and poorly lit.
It's not that good, you still need to turn on the lights even during the day.
Chu Longtu turned on the multi-functional beverage machine and made two cups of coffee. This beverage machine was one of the few modern appliances in the room. The old man waited patiently for the two cups of coffee to be ready, then walked out of the kitchen with the cup in hand. He saw
Ding opened the briefcase and placed it on the table, revealing the pistol inside.
Chu Longtu didn't panic at all. He slowly put the coffee cup on the cabinet next to him and said: "I don't seem to have anything worth grabbing here, and the people in this building have nothing to grab. If you are short of money, I think
You seem to be looking in the wrong place. If you like something, just take it."
Ding Yi smiled and said: "You originally lived in Linhai District, and later moved back. When I get old, I will be more willing to go back to my six old friends like you, even if I live in a small house
.”
"Six old friends..." Chu Longtu paused his hand on the coffee cup for a moment, then took it back and said, "The investigation was very thorough."
"When working for the dynasty, you still have to have a sense of responsibility." Ding Yi picked up the pistol and wiped it with a soft cloth.
Chu Longtu said: "There are not many old-school people like you nowadays. But, can you kill people with a small gun as big as your palm?"
Ding Yi sat still and checked the ammunition of the pistol. The ammunition was translucent, and there was a little glistening substance in the bullet. He loaded the bullet and said, "This is a needle bullet. It will only make a small hole in your body."
hole, and then the warhead will melt in your body, paralyzing the heart and stopping it within half a minute. Then the drug ingredients will completely decompose, and the final cause of death will only be acute myocardial necrosis, and nothing else can be found."
He then took out a palm-sized instrument and placed it on the table, saying: "This little thing can completely copy more than 95% of the data in the brain's memory area within one minute. The only problem is that the copying process will cause irreversible damage.
How to describe it? The copied brain is probably like porridge cooked all night."
Ding Yi repeatedly took out a vial the size of a finger and said: "This is a growth-promoting hormone that can increase the speed of wound healing by hundreds of times. Bullet holes caused by needle bullets can be completely healed within 3 minutes without any traces being visible."
Chu Longtu could not see that he was afraid, but he was a little confused: "These things are much more expensive than my old life. The dynasty's funds are already so large that they can be wasted at will?"
"Don't worry, we have never encountered funding problems. This time, not only you, but the six old friends will also receive similar treatment, but there is no need to copy their memories, just create a small disease.
Don’t worry, the cause of death will be different for each of them. We have developed a total of 15 kinds of ammunition for sudden death symptoms, and I brought a total of 8 of them this time."
"Why?"
"Because you have a wonderful grandson."
"Jun Gui? Haha, shouldn't you take me back as a hostage?"
"It's not necessary. The hostage may not cooperate and may be rescued. With your memory, there is no difference between you and the hostage. He will never know whether you are alive or dead." Ding Yi said eloquently.
Come.
"It makes sense. It seems that you have made some progress in recent years, but it is limited." After saying that, Chu Longtu snorted and said, "During the novice training, didn't you learn how to distinguish your opponents?"
, don’t you want to provoke a target you can’t afford to provoke? Even if you want to come, you should send more people, right?”
A harmless smile appeared on Ding Yi's face, he took out a knife less than 10 centimeters from his bag, put it gently on his hand, and said: "During the novice training, we trained with the trainees of the special forces at the same time.
, the passing standard for graduation is to be able to defeat active soldiers of the special forces one on three. I got an excellent grade in that training. But it was decades ago. I have been sitting in the office for these years and haven’t done much exercise, so I specially brought
I have a weapon just to be afraid of accidents."
"Accidents will always happen." Chu Longtu opened the cabinet drawer, took out a huge old-fashioned pistol, and slammed it on the cabinet.
"Is this gun of yours more than a hundred years old? I forgot to tell you that the clothes on my body can protect me from direct fire from heavy machine guns. It's almost time. Goodbye, Mr. Chu." Ding Yi's smile did not change.
Slowly he picked up the needle pistol, suddenly brought up an afterimage, and shot Chu Longtu in the heart like lightning!
The old man's body suddenly felt a little blurry. He gave way slightly, and the needle bullet flew past his body!
Missed?? Ding Yi felt his mind went blank. Before he could react, he saw the old man slowly picking up the pistol and firing out!
The whole building seemed to shake. The old man's movements had a distinct rhythm and were not fast at all. But Ding Yi wanted to dodge, but inexplicably he didn't. He felt that his gaze was getting higher and higher, but his lower body was still in place.
.
A big hole appeared in the door behind Ding Yi, a big hole also appeared in the wall of the corridor, and there was also a big hole in the wall of the apartment opposite. One hole was inside another, and it penetrated countless walls and was bottomless.
On the same floor, as well as upstairs and downstairs, many doors opened silently, and faces with strange expressions appeared, looking this way.
Ding Yi's upper body fell to the ground and twitched unconsciously, his face full of shock.
The old man put down the pistol, rubbed his numb wrist, and said slowly: "In what age are you still playing with heavy machine guns?"
The thunderous gunshots and the vibrations caused by a demolition hammer did not cause a commotion. The entire apartment building seemed to have turned into a black hole, swallowing up all abnormal movements silently.
There were rustling footsteps in the corridor, and the sound of the elevator opening and closing became the harshest sound in the world. The apartment manager didn't know where he had gone, as if he had never existed. As for the automatic alarm system, it seemed that it had been installed decades ago.
Totally broken.
In the big hole in the door of the old man's apartment, a face that was old but still full of flesh appeared, and his eyes were filled with natural ferocity. One of his eyes was an unusual gray color, and subtle circuits could be seen.
Texture. This eye is obviously a biochemical organ, and it is a model from who knows how many years ago. It may be even older than his grandfather.
The man glanced into the room and opened the door. He was a big man over two meters tall, with muscles that almost burst his clothes. He could only walk into the room by bending slightly. Behind him,
A person appeared. Although they were all old, they all had an indescribable murderous intent. They stood silently, the body broken in two and the blood everywhere failed to touch their nervous and fearful nerves at all.
On the contrary, some people showed faint excitement, like seeing a shark with blood again.
The big man bent down with some difficulty and picked up the pistol from Ding Yi's hand with two fingers. The small needle gun was like a child's toy in his big hands. The big man's ten thick carrot-like fingers suddenly moved,
The needle gun was dismantled into its basic parts in an instant. Then the pile of carrots moved again, and the needle gun returned to its original shape, but the remaining needle bullets in the gun remained in the palm of the big man's hand.
The big man weighed the needle bullets and said: "This piece of equipment looks like those shady dogs! Boss, what should we do now?"
The old man picked up the coffee cup, took a slow sip of the still scalding coffee, and said, "It seems that I can't live in peace for the rest of my life."
