"..." Ziegler was speechless as he looked at the display with constantly changing numbers.
The two agents in suits who took the elevator with her stared at the elevator door and remained silent the entire time.
Although it was his first time to come to the headquarters, Ziegler was not entangled at this moment.
Because before this, she had been invited by Umbrella to participate in several biological experiments, but she had always refused to become a formal researcher.
And when the elevator stopped and took her to the top floor, she watched the elevator door in front of her gradually open, and saw several Dark Angels on guard in the lobby outside the elevator. Surprise instantly replaced her previous calmness.
robot?
The first impression the Dark Angels gave her was that of a robot.
Shocked, she stepped out of the elevator to observe and found that the height difference between the Dark Angels was noticeable to the naked eye.
This shows that the Dark Angels are not so-called robots at all, but "people" wearing fully wrapped power armor.
A Dark Angel who was approaching her and unfolding his power armor helmet further confirmed the conclusion that the Dark Angels were "human beings", but her surprise did not diminish at all.
As an expert in the fields of biology and medicine, Ziegler understood what these dark angels represented, but she quickly digested and accepted this fact.
After all, this is Umbrella's headquarters. No matter what kind of things he sees that subvert common sense, Ziegler will not find it too strange.
She and the two agents came to the center of the hall.
The dark angel who unfolded his helmet also walked up to them and said solemnly: "Please follow me, Doctor Cage."
"good."
Next, the two agents stopped in the central hall, while Ziegler continued to move forward with the Dark Angel and arrived at the door of the top-floor office.
Walk in.
The first thing that catches your eye is the row of floor-to-ceiling windows opposite the door, with a great view overlooking the entire city.
Then came the two artificial intelligences standing in the center of the office, whose pupils emitted faint light, and...
Leon, who is 4.3 meters tall.
"..."
Fortunately, Ziegler's mental endurance was strong and his expression remained normal, without showing any signs of gaffes.
Finally, she focused her attention on Sui Bian, who was sitting in the office chair with a slight smile on his face.
Get off the elevator and walk to the center of this office.
Ziegler understood that the "young" man sitting not far in front of her was the real controller of Umbrella, and those board members on the surface were all just an illusion given to the public.
"Hello."
At this time, Sui Bian introduced himself: "My surname is Sui. It's an honor to meet you, Doctor Cage."
"It should be my honor to meet you, Mr. Sui." Ziegler politely replied, and then expressed her doubts: "I wonder what the purpose of Mr. Sui's calling me is...?"
After hearing the inquiry, Sui Bian did not answer immediately. Instead, he waved his left hand lightly to display a holographic screen on his desk. He glanced at the content on the screen and asked Ziegler:
""Nano Biotechnology and the Future of Humanity", being able to write such a perfect graduation thesis shows that you are more suitable for the research field, but you refused to become a researcher in the company and chose to stay in Los Angeles to be a doctor.
I must be doing this for your mother, I'm right, Doctor Cage."
"Yes." Ziegler admitted generously.
There is no need to hide this, because she knows that with Sui Bian's identity, she has long known about their family's experiences and past, and even knows her own family better than she does.
So he declined in advance: "Mr. Sui, I am very grateful to Umbrella for helping our family, but becoming a researcher means that we can spend less time together and be apart more, and I want to be by my mother's side even more, so I hope you can understand, sir."
this point."
"Of course I understand, but the reason why I called you here today is because of your father, Second Lieutenant Cage."
"My father?" Ziegler was stunned and his expression was a little dull.
Among her various speculations, she did not include the fact that her memory was blurred, and she even forgot what kind of father he had in his voice.
"Doctor Cage." Sui Bian, sensing the mood swings, continued to ask Ziegler:
"I don't know what you think of the Sheheba incident that happened in Syria twelve years ago."
"Sheheba..." Ziegler, who had still not recovered from his emotions, blurted out: "A... brutal massacre."
Massacre of Shekhba.
Ziegler was deeply impressed by this incident because twelve years ago in 2000, she learned from her mother that her father had died of illness in prison.
In fact, because their family was no longer short of money and enjoyed various benefits from Umbrella Hospital, Ziegler guessed that "father died of illness" was a white lie told by his mother.
Her mother never told the truth, but Ziegler knew that her father had reached some kind of deal with the government and Umbrella, so she thanked Umbrella to Sui Bian.
Because of this, she was also deeply impressed by the "Sheheba Massacre" incident that was continuously broadcast on the news, and she can still find some relevant information on the Internet.
The anti-government forces that initially occupied Sheheba carried out indiscriminate massacres and burned the bodies of the men, women, and children living in Sheheba because of their religious beliefs.
Although the government forces, in cooperation with the US military stationed in Syria, successfully recaptured Sheheba from the anti-government forces, they were unable to save tens of thousands of lives.
But Ziegler, who gradually recovered, felt more and more that the Sheheba incident was not that simple, and it was definitely related to her father, otherwise Sui Bian would not suddenly ask her for her opinion.
Before she could express her doubts, Sui Bian waved his left hand again, creating several holographic screens in front of her.
And said: "This is the real situation at that time, take a look."
Hearing this, Ziegler began to check the text, pictures and video files on the screen.
After spending several minutes reading the file, Ziegler learned that "demons" and "abnormal phenomena" existed in the world, and could no longer maintain a calm and composed face.
However, she still did not utter any too unreasonable exclamations. At the same time, she finally figured out what kind of deal her father had made.
Thinking that his father was willing to die for them, Ziegler was heartbroken and tried to hold himself back from breaking down and crying.
"Your father is not dead, he is still alive."
Sui Bian's reminder made Ziegler realize that new file content was being played on the screen.
As she continued to check, her expression became more and more "wonderful".
After learning that her father was not dead, but was actually killing demons in hell, Ziegler felt that her mood at the moment was like riding a roller coaster, jumping directly from the gloomiest ravine to the clear sky.
Get in a good mood.
"Thank you for letting me know the truth, Mr. Sui." Ziegler, whose eyes were still slightly red, said sincerely to Sui Bian.
"This is what I should do. No need to thank you. Instead, I should say thank you."
Sui Bian stood up and left his seat, walked around the desk, walked slowly not far from Ziegler, and said solemnly: "Thank you for your father's sacrifice and dedication."
