Evolution Beyond the Stars Volume 1 The Beginning of Eden 01224 Time Rewind "Who?"
"Bian Pavilion."
"Okay, please pay."
Guan Dehou took away his phone, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the payment button.
Deduct "1" and display the balance "9".
"how long?"
"About an hour."
"Um... don't reply to this phone. I want specific documents."
"Okay, that will take about two hours."
"Let's do this. Don't wait for two hours. I have to perform tasks at night, so you can just send me to my apartment tomorrow morning."
"Okay, we will adjust accordingly." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Guan Dehou held his cell phone and thought for a while, and when he was about to make another call, Li Shaoan's call came in.
…
"Hey, Lao Li has arrived in the United States?" Guan Dehou asked with a smile.
"No." Li Shaoan's voice was very low. He coughed and said, "Have you commissioned an investigation into Bian Ge's matter?"
Guan Dehou was stunned and thought, 'So fast...'
But he also knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Shaoan, so he said, "How did you know?"
Li Shaoan did not explain, only said, "Stop the commission immediately. This matter is not something you can interfere with."
Guan Dehou was a little unhappy after hearing this, "Stop the commission? Shao'an, are you confused? Bian Ge is my nephew, my nephew. He died inexplicably now, but you asked me to stop the commission? We are still the same.
Brother?"
Li Shaoan said, "It is precisely because we are brothers that I came to stop you."
Guan Dehou admired this sentence, and then said, "Well, since you don't want me to get involved in this matter, just tell me what happened in Thailand."
Li Shaoan was silent for a long time and then said, "Actually... Bian Ge died in Thailand a long time ago."
Guan Dehou was stunned, "What?"
Li Shaoan did not repeat it. He continued, "The operation that day was actually not successful at all. Not only were the hostages killed, but the special service personnel who carried out the operation also suffered heavy casualties... But..."
"Wait! What? It didn't work? So what happened?"
"Don't interrupt me, just listen to me." Li Shaoan continued, "Failure is true, success is also a fact, but things are a little twisty, or...somewhat difficult to understand..."
"this……"
"The operation went smoothly at first. We successfully approached the target, but the opponent was very alert and crazy. He detonated the explosives and devices on his body without giving us time to make emergency response. You can imagine what happened next...
...But what is unexpected is that less than ten seconds after the explosion, all of this began to reverse, just like going back in time..." Li Shaoan's story sounded even more bizarre than Charles's story.
Guan Dehou couldn't help but interjected, "Go back in time?"
"Yes... but to be more precise, it should be more like a video being played backwards, but the person who is playing it backwards has no memory of it."
Guan Dehou discovered a contradiction when he heard this: "Since you have no memory, how do you remember this?"
Li Shaoan: "Because all this was actually told to me by Bian Ge. He was the only person who was not affected by the incident. He witnessed the entire process alone... including the explosion, time backtracking, etc..."
Hearing this, Guan Dehou couldn't help but recall the mark that Bian Ge showed him at that time, the blood-red mark on his wrist.
…
"It's targeting me..."
…
Recalling these episodes, Guan Dehou felt regretful.
'Why didn't I ask more questions then...'
"Then Bian Ge...how did he die?" Guan Dehou asked.
Li Shaoan recalled, "After the flashback, because I had no memory before the flashback, what I saw was the scene where the terrorist was taken away and the rescue operation was successfully completed. But when I thought the matter was over, I noticed that Bian
Ge’s expression is very abnormal.”
"unusual?"
"Well... he seemed to be very scared, as if he had seen something scary..." Li Shaoan paused for a moment and continued, "I asked him what was wrong, but he stared at me as if he was extremely frightened.
And asked..."
…
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Bian Ge asked.
Li Shaoan was startled. "Of course I am a human being. What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Bian Ge still didn't believe it, so he raised his hand and tentatively touched Li Shaoan's face.
Li Shaoan was frightened by this sudden move. He smiled and said, "Stop making trouble. The operation went smoothly. We can go back."
But Bian Ge said in a trembling voice, "No...the operation failed...this is a trap...he has two other accomplices, right...over there!"
Bian Ge glanced around and spotted two policemen hiding behind the crowd.
Their expressions and states are obviously different from those around them.
Bian Ge immediately took out his weapon and pointed it at the two people. At the same time, he shouted, "You two! Don't move! Put your hands up!"
Although Li Shaoan didn't know what happened, his reaction speed was also very fast. He immediately cooperated with Bian Ge's actions and drew his weapon and aimed it at the two people.
But there were not only the two of them in the temporary command room, but also several local Thai police.
Most of the personnel of the National Security Department were outside the command room.
When it happened, everyone was a little confused, including the two policemen who were targeted by Bian Ge with weapons.
Their eyes were a little panicked, but after seeing the gun pointed at them, they still raised their hands honestly. When Li Shaoan saw
Zhuang realized that the two policemen might really have a problem, so he slowly approached them.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Maybe Bian Ge's recollection of his experiences is incomplete, or maybe these people themselves hide it very deeply.
As Li Shaoan moved forward to cover Bian Ge's view, a Thai policeman in the room suddenly drew his gun and shot Li Shaoan.
Fortunately, Li Shaoan was not completely defenseless. When the people around him fired, he also quickly fired back.
Gunfire erupted in the command room, and three people fell in the blink of an eye.
The fat police chief was stunned. Two of his men fell. Li Shaoan was also shot, but he did not fall. The one who fell was Bian Ge.
Outside the command room, well-trained National Security Department personnel subdued the two suspicious individuals before they could take action.
It was only when Li Shaoan squatted down to check Bian Ge's condition that he discovered that he had been shot in the throat and was no longer breathing...
…
Hearing this, Guan Dehou was stunned.
This... this is simply too ridiculous... If the story Charles told is a biological crisis, then the stories Li Shaoan told are completely horror stories.
"This...this...this is impossible...I obviously met him in Beijing, and we went out to eat hotpot mutton with him!" Guan Dehou recalled everything in Beijing, combined with the story Li Shaoan just told.
, can’t help but feel a little creepy.
Li Shaoan: "Do you still remember what I said at the beginning... time rewind, or... time rewind that only happened to Bian Ge."
Guan Dehou frowned and thought about it seriously, but he still felt that the explanation did not make sense.
Imagine if Bian Ge really had this ability to look back in time, how could he be killed in a hospital in Beijing? And according to Li Shaoan’s story, Bian Ge’s ability to look back seems to not only affect himself, but also the world around him. This is simply a superpower.
"No...this doesn't make sense..."
Li Shaoan smiled bitterly and said, "I know it's hard to understand. In fact, I still don't know how Bian Ge survived... I don't even remember what happened after it was confirmed that he was dead..."
"Ah? You mean you remember part of it, but part of it disappeared?"
"Yes, this is the key part. I don't know how Bian Ge survived. I only remember that I took a flight back to China with him, and I joked and chatted with him along the way... But after I arrived in Beijing, I I realized that Bian Ge might be dead, and the Bian Ge in front of me...may have a problem..." Li Shaoan paused for a moment as he spoke, "These things are too bizarre, so I haven't told you, I just hope Please be more sober, if you continue to pursue Bian Ge's matter, you and I may be in danger."
After listening to this, Guan Dehou roughly understood the context of Li Shaoan's story and understood Li Shaoan's painstaking efforts.
But after all, he himself was one of the witnesses of this bizarre incident... especially the woman who was shot five times by him and still escaped... Guan Dehou knew very well that even if he wanted to let go of these things now, trouble would come to him. Especially what Bian Ge said...
…
"Brother De, the world has changed. It's no longer the time when we were in the Northeast... Listen to my advice, if you can... don't go to the United States."
…
"Hello? Are you still listening to me?" Li Shaoan asked.
Guan Dehou came to his senses and said, "Okay, I understand, but this commission has been accepted and cannot be terminated. I can only promise you that I will stop the investigation after I get the autopsy report."
Li Shaoan also knew it. He sighed and said, "Okay, I will take a plane there tomorrow morning. It is best for you to focus on investigation tonight and try not to alert others, okay?"
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Dehou was completely confused.
He had always suspected that Bian Ge's death might be related to things related to "Player 0", but now it seems... it's far from that simple.
Have times really changed?
Guan Dehou sighed and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but found that the car had stopped.
The driver was a subordinate brought by Guan Dehou from China, and he was an authentic Northeasterner.
"Brother De, we are here."
Guan Dehou looked out the window and saw a dark alley with narrow spaces on the left and right sides. If he were to encounter an RPG while parking in a place like this, he would probably avoid a "Black Hawk Down" scene.
So Guan Dehou said coldly, "Tell brothers to be smart."
"Okay, got it."
…
After getting off the car, the regional head of the American side came over with a smile and said, "Welcome, Chinese friends, my name is Kaisen, and I am the head of this region."
Although his broken Chinese is difficult to listen to, at least he can understand it.
Guan Dehou also smiled officially, and then asked, "Why do you gather so many people in such a narrow place? This is not a good habit."
The other party smiled awkwardly, "We know that too, but this is the only safe house nearby, so I can only feel sorry for you. When things here are over, I will make good arrangements for you."
What he said was very ambiguous.
Guan Dehou smiled coldly, then called to his subordinates, "Get off the car, stop dawdling."
The beauty officer glanced behind Guan Dehou.
Although these special service personnel sent by China are no taller than the surrounding American soldiers, their eyes are as dangerous as wild beasts dormant in the dark.
Locked in the eyes of these people, the beauty officer subconsciously stepped back.
Guan Dehou saw it clearly, he was very satisfied with this
Effect.
"Then thank you, Chief Kaisen." Guan Dehou said with a smile.
Kaisen looked back and said, "Well, you're welcome. Then, you guys, come with me. The room has been prepared for you. You can take a rest."
After hearing this, Guan Dehou said, "There is no need to rest. We have rested long enough on the road. Let's get started quickly."
Kaisen was a little surprised, but also very happy. He said, "Okay, but you don't know much about the situation here, so we have to discuss it first."
Guan Dehou nodded, "Well, okay, let's go to the safe house first."
"Okay, you guys follow me." Kaisen said and led the way.
…
The safe houses of the National Security Department are usually converted from private houses.
The main function is to provide emergency shelter for National Security Department personnel. It is rarely used as a temporary operational command room. Otherwise, the location of the safe house can easily be exposed.
But after checking the surrounding neighborhood on the rooftop, Guan Dehou found that there was indeed no better location than a safe house.
"He lives on the roof of the office building in front of him, but that's just where he sleeps. His main area of activity is in an unfinished hospital building one kilometer away from the block. All the weapons and equipment are hidden there.
Side." Kaisen roughly explained the situation.
After hearing this, Guan Dehou asked, "Since it is so far away, why not block the building when he goes home to sleep?"
Kaison shook his head and said, "We thought so before, but after investigation, we found that there were other people in the building where he hid his things, and there were quite a few of them."
Guan Dehou frowned, "This is very different from the information I received before I came here."
Kaison smiled bitterly and said, "It's normal to have discrepancies, because we just learned that there are other people in the building."
"Huh? Just found out?"
Kaison nodded, "Yes, we arranged for several people to observe the building to make sure no other people came in or out. We also sent out drones to investigate, but no trace of the enemy was found, so before you came, we sent out a
The group went to the building... and the result..."
Guan Dehou: "Huh?"
"None of them came back." Kaysen blamed himself.
Guan Dehou was more concerned about whether these situations would cause losses to his subordinates.
"You use this to confirm that there is someone inside?" Guan Dehou's tone was a little serious.
Fortunately, Kaisen has a good temper. He said frankly, "No, no, no, the group of people we sent sent back a lot of key image data. Some of the pictures recorded the appearance of some enemies. Judging from the fighting situation,
There are at least five enemies."
"Five?" Guan Dehou was surprised when he heard this. What surprised him was not the number of enemies, but that such a small number of people could wipe out all the elite members of the National Security Department?
Although Guan Dehou has not had any actual combat confrontation with the U.S. Department of National Security agents, he believes that the strength of these people is by no means comparable to that of ordinary special forces.
But even so, a team of eight people organized according to the National Security Department was actually wiped out.
Kaysen was also a little embarrassed. He said, "I know this is hard to believe, but the number of enemies is indeed smaller than the number of personnel we sent... However, in view of factors such as ambush, the possibility of them falling into a trap cannot be ruled out."
Guan Dehou chuckled in his heart and thought to himself, "How dare you say that there is an ambush among the elites of the National Security Department? It's really..."
"Have you ever thought about blowing up the whole building?"
Kaison: "Yes, but my commander doesn't agree with it."
"Why?"
"Because we want to bring back the bodies of the first group of people." A voice came from behind Guan Dehou.
Guan Dehou looked back and saw that it was Charles. He had also arrived at some unknown time.
Seeing Charles, Kaysen immediately stood at attention and saluted.
Guan Dehou also saluted, but it was a little perfunctory.
Charles didn't care about this. He came over and said, "In addition... Judging from the battle scenes at that time, one of the enemies rushed over with bare hands, but our guns failed to stop him successfully, so... I think it is necessary to capture him alive."
To facilitate investigation.”
unarmed?
When Guan Dehou heard this, his first impression was of the woman he met in the hospital.
And if these enemies can't be killed with guns like that woman... then the idea of capturing them alive is simply seeking death.
So Guan Dehou objected, "Mr. Charles, although you are my direct superior when performing tasks in the United States, and I should obey your orders, I think that we are working openly and the enemy is secretly, and we are not sure how strong the enemy is."
Under such circumstances, we should no longer take rash actions in order to ensure the safety of our personnel."
Upon hearing this, Charles asked Guan Dehoudao, "Then what are your thoughts? Is it to blow up the whole building?"
Guan Dehou nodded, "Although doing this may indeed result in the remains of the dead brothers, I think this is the most rational approach."
Charles smiled and sneered.
"Guan R, we must look at the problem from an overall perspective and not be so one-sided. I have also thought about using this simplest way to solve the problem. But as you just said, we are in the open and the enemy is in the dark. Who can ensure the bombing?
Falling down the building will definitely solve the problem? Huh?"
Of course Guan Dehou also thought of this. He said, "Just like hunting, old hunters like to set traps in the forest, but nobles like to bring hounds to drive their prey out of the forest for them to shoot on horseback. And from the current situation
It seems that we are not old hunters... so it is obviously much smarter to find a way to drive them out of the shadows."
