Zhou Gongyi hesitated to speak. He swallowed the rest of the food on the plate and took a sip of water. "They are a group of lunatics. They have been waiting for an opportunity for all these years, an opportunity to subvert the world. Now the 'sun has disappeared'"
, it is undoubtedly the best time for them, there is only so much I can say, the rest... it is up to you to understand and solve it yourself."
Chen Shuang stared blankly at Zhou Gongyi who picked up the dinner plate and stood up. She didn't say anything for a long time.
After lunch, the moot court continued, but neither Chen Shuang nor Zhang Zhihai came.
Without Chen Shuang as his backup, Zhou Gongyi felt a little lonely.
However, he was still calm when facing people like Mr. Zhao. He sat down slowly with a glass of boiling water and said, "Everyone, the third doubt I want to say is officially related to the Qingshui family who played a great role in the rescue after the accident."
related."
Everyone was puzzled.
Zhou Gongyi continued, "As far as I know, the people who provide important equipment for the water circulation supply in our shelter are officially the Shimizu family from the Shoko Government in New Tokyo, Japan. They not only provide various equipment for the shelter, it can even be said that the entire
Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New Area was built with the funds invested by the Qingshui family. We are guests, and the Qingshui family invites guests into their own yard."
Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "What on earth do you want to say?"
Zhou Gongyi smiled slightly, "Less than half an hour after the accident, the second young lady of the Shimizu family, Masato Shimizu, took over the main control center of the water circulation system. Shortly afterwards, the sedimentation tank began to overflow. Natsume, the first central axis
The first resistance team composed of special commissioner Li Dan and others were swallowed up by the "flood peak". The accident directly caused the tragedy of eleven people's death... After another four hours, the engineers of the Qingshui family took the initiative to report to the top management of the shelter.
The department submitted a set of emergency remedial plans developed by them, and it was this plan that made me aware of the biggest doubt in the whole matter."
Mr. Wang got impatient and said, "Oh, stop beating around the bush! Say it quickly!"
"That is... the engineers of the Qingshui family seemed to have expected the destruction of the pressure pump, and they also had spare pressure pump components in their hands that could have completely solved the hidden danger. These things were used in the subsequent rescue and remedial work.
"It plays a key role, but don't you think it's terrifying to think about it carefully? Why do these people obviously have chips in their hands that can avoid disasters, but they wait until the accident happens to take them out? Think about it, think about it carefully." Zhou Gongyi said and pointed.
Pointing at his own brain.
Although most of the people here are patients, mental illness does not mean that they are stupid or confused. In fact, for some patients, their mental state is stable most of the time.
…
The back of the sanatorium is connected to the shelter's thermal circulation pipe network system. This is an extremely complex, dark and damp narrow passage. Generally, only maintenance personnel know how to enter here without getting lost. Chen Shuang also came to the sanatorium.
Not long after that, I got a special route marking core from Zhang Yenan. Inside this imitation core without a specific number, all the accessible route maps of the entire shelter were stored, and even some of the nooks and crannies were covered.
There are labels.
After changing into a lightweight, customized tactical uniform, he pressed the bullet into the gun chamber. Chen Shuang, who had changed from his previous simple and honest appearance, put on a military composite vision mask, and then activated the thermal optical camouflage.
After passing through the back kitchen to where the steamed buns were steamed, Chen Shuang glanced at the sleeping chef and picked up a still-hot steamed bun, then quietly rolled out the window and entered the shelter's thermal circulation pipe network system.
Here, the ghost-like Chen Shuang quickly left the West District according to the signs and entered near the confluence area of Area B.
But here, the usual bustling of heads turned into a complete emptiness.
Frowning slightly, Chen Shuang was about to find out what was going on when a cold voice came from behind and said, "You are not crazy after all."
Chen Shuang immediately turned around and stabbed out the dagger in his hand.
The opponent easily dodged Chen Shuang's attack, and even pinched Chen Shuang's wrist and took the dagger away from her. It seemed like an understatement, but only Chen Shuang knew how powerful the opponent was.
amazing.
In the darkness, the man who took away Chen Shuang's dagger lifted his mask and said, "Don't rush to do it, it's me."
Chen Shuang was surprised, "Dean?"
The person who came was none other than Zhang Zhihai, who had participated in the "mock court" in the morning. This handsome young man showed an unfamiliar calmness and calmness at this time. He turned the dagger and handed it back to Chen Shuang.
Chen Shuang took back the dagger vigilantly and asked, "Have you been following me?"
Zhang Zhihai nodded, "Well, I've been following you since you returned to your room and started getting ready."
Chen Shuang's face turned red when he heard this, and he said angrily, "Who are you?"
"Guardian of 'Beacon Fire', or... number a1380, I am one of the sword holders of the human doomsday barrier plan. I am mainly responsible for collecting various data in the shelter that is not conducive to the continuation of the human group, and then... report it,
And accept the instructions from his superiors." Zhang Zhihai kept nothing secret from Chen Shuang.
This made Chen Shuang both surprised and a little suspicious.
"Why should I believe that you are a secret force of the Beacon Council?" Chen Shuang knew that there was a special agent in every shelter who was broken into pieces and existed as an ordinary person, but she had only heard Zhang Yanan mention it.
Not sure that such a group of people exists.
Zhang Zhihai smiled slightly, "You can choose not to believe me. This is your freedom, but... now the shelter has been basically occupied by people from Takahashi Yin Temple. I only want to gain a partner by revealing my identity to you. If
If you choose to refuse, then let’s just say goodbye.”
"What?!" Chen Shuang was shocked. She couldn't keep up with Zhang Zhihai's rhythm.
"The people from Takahashi Yinji took over the shelter? When did it happen?"
"Three hours ago, Takahashi Yinsi's people intercepted and killed the first central axis support troops in Bohai Bay, then replaced them and entered the shelter. It only took an hour and a half to control the top management of the shelter.
, before my companion died, he sent me a set of images showing that Xing Zhuoshan had also been controlled by them." Zhang Zhihai spoke concisely.
The horror in Chen Shuang's heart could not be greater, but after all, he was the previous captain of the special service team. Chen Shuang quickly accepted the fact and said, "How can I help you?"
"I plan to contact other companions first, but there is a time lag in between, so I hope you can go to the upper level to cause trouble and try your best to buy enough time for me."
"What? You just let me go alone?" It's not that Chen Shuang is not confident, but he thinks this is nonsense. "I'm not Rambo!"
Zhang Zhihai smiled, "But you are the captain of the special service team, and with the special chip Zhang Yanan gave you, even if you can't be Rambo, you can still be a prankster expert."
Chen Shuang understood that the other party really touched her clearly, but what Chen Shuang was curious about was...
"Then you always knew I wasn't crazy?"
"No, in fact, when I was the deputy director of a sanatorium, I only focused on my duties. I didn't care whether you were a mental patient or not... It wasn't until I experienced the moot court in the morning that I realized that the danger was approaching.
"After Zhang Zhihai finished speaking, he lowered his head and glanced at the holographic projection on his wrist and said, "My companions have begun to respond to me. I am going to join them to fight for time. Can I ask you for help?"
"Of course, that's assuming you didn't lie to me." In fact, Chen Shuang didn't trust Zhang Zhihai very much, so she had to see it herself.
Zhang Zhihai didn't say much, just said "Take care." Then he retreated into the darkness and disappeared.
Seeing this ghost-like guy disappear, Chen Shuang suddenly felt shuddering. He was obviously careful enough, but he didn't expect that he was being followed all the way without even noticing. If this guy didn't have any ill intentions towards him, Chen Shuang might have noticed him.
He had already been killed by others.
‘Is it because I’ve been pretending to be stupid during this period? It doesn’t make sense...’ After muttering to himself, Chen Shuang put his mind away.
If what Zhang Zhihai said is true, then the crisis facing Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District is terrible.
She didn't know who Takahashi Inji was before, and she even thought that this person might have been made up.
But when Zhang Zhihai said this person's name, Chen Shuang quickly woke up. Not only did this person exist... but he might also be the mastermind behind many terrorist attacks around the world after the "Sun Disappeared".
A true lunatic!
The empty confluence area was already a warning. Chen Shuang did not stay any longer. She wanted to go to the top floor as soon as possible.
…
"Shua"
When the clean warm water washed over his body, Natsume had an unreal feeling. He originally thought he would die in that dark place, in confusion.
There seemed to be some kind of special medicine in the warm water. The wounds on the body seemed to be burned, and the fluorescent agent disappeared quickly. The time that washed the body was very short, so short that Natsume felt a little unfinished.
"Move forward." came the indifferent mechanical voice.
Natsume continued to walk forward, and the darkness in front was illuminated by lights. Only then did Natsume notice that there were two people standing there. Two women who were dressed very delicately and beautifully, but their eyes were welded shut by iron hoops. They listened.
After hearing the sound, he came forward with his clothes and said, "Please come over here."
Such a strange scene made Natsume a little at a loss. He stood stiffly on the spot and let the two women dress him. When their cold fingertips touched Natsume's body, Natsume always felt like he was electrocuted.
Same. After getting dressed, the two women stepped aside respectfully and said, "Please keep moving forward."
Natsume did as he was told, and then the road ahead was suddenly illuminated, and the door behind him was slammed shut.
Natsume, whose heart trembled as the door banged, stared blankly at the windy corridor. He wasn't sure where he was now. At first, he thought about many possibilities. Those who attacked the advance team were probably a group of people who failed to escape.
The poor people have no choice but to take up arms and plunder in order to survive. This is a primitive law that has nothing to do with good or evil, only life and death.
The advance team carries limited supplies. In order to obtain more supplies, these people will definitely capture the survivors and use them as bargaining chips to negotiate deals with the shelter. During this period, they, the prisoners, were locked in a dark room.
.As for where this room is... it should probably be inside some underground structure in the city.
But when Natsume walked out of the darkness and looked at the windy window panes on the left, the warm tatami under his feet, and the snow-falling scenery on the right, he realized that all his guesses had failed. Things were simply not right.
It's not as simple as he thought...or rather...it wasn't that simple from the beginning.
After walking a dozen steps on the straight road, a woman wearing a kimono
Suddenly she walked out and knelt down respectfully in front of Natsume. She said softly, "Mr. Natsume, please come into the house. The lady is waiting for you."
Miss?
Natsume frowned, suddenly realizing a terrible truth.
Could it be that all this was done by Masato Shimizu?
No!
This is impossible!
Natsume clenched his fists, and he kept cheering himself up, fearing that he might even doubt Masato. But when he turned around and saw the woman sitting at the top of the room, Natsume's breath froze.
I saw a woman with almost the same beautiful face as Masato Shimizu, wearing traditional Japanese formal clothes, sitting at the head of the room. On either side of her, sat a middle-aged man in a suit and an old man in a samurai robe.
, a handsome man dressed like a prodigal, with a bamboo hat put aside, and a charming woman in full bloom.
Natsume stood in front of the door and couldn't believe what he saw. He suspected that he was dreaming.
Until the woman on the first seat whispered, "Mr. Natsuki, please come in and talk."
When the woman spoke, her voice was obviously mature and steady, and Natsume finally felt relieved... But he was also thinking, who is this woman? Why does she have a face that is almost exactly the same as Masato Shimizu's?
No matter what, Natsume couldn't help but decided to go inside first.
When people entered the house, the door was closed by the kneeling maid.
Someone had already prepared for Natsume to collapse, but Natsume, who was not used to kneeling, sat down cross-legged like the old man in samurai uniform.
The woman in the first seat smiled slightly, "I know Mr. Natsuki must have a lot of questions to ask now, but please put these confusions aside for the time being. After our screening work is completed, I will answer them together. Do you think so?"
Natsume, who had been locked up in such a place for more than ten days, had long lost his temper. Now hearing that the other party was so polite made Natsume a little uncomfortable. He knew that the other party's politeness was just a hypocritical appearance, but he was very uncomfortable getting along with these lunatics.
Understand that you need to control your emotions and learn to cooperate.
"Everything is as you wish." Natsume replied respectfully.
The woman was very satisfied, she clapped her hands, and the door was opened again.
But outside the door is no longer the mesmerizing snow scene, but three small compartments separated by frosted glass.
Natsume looked at everything outside the door in surprise, but he suppressed his inner shock very well and stayed as calm as possible. However, Natsume, who thought he was hiding it well, still noticed the charming woman sitting opposite him.
She looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and there was clearly a hint of amusement in her eyes.
Natsume didn't dare to look at her, so he sat upright and focused all his attention on the three relatively narrow frosted glass rooms.
Is this screening work?
Just when I was wondering, the frosted glass in the three rooms all became transparent.
And sitting in the middle room was Li Dan!
Seeing this scene, Natsume stood up immediately. He wanted to rush over to rescue Li Dan who was trapped in the room, but before he could take a step out, he bumped into an invisible wall.
Only then did Natsume realize that the scene he saw was just an illusion projected on a wall, and Li Dan was not here at all.
Seeing Natsume making a fool of herself, the charming woman smiled brightly. The middle-aged man in a suit beside her said solemnly, "Mr. Natsume, although you are a friend of the second lady and are exempt from screening, please respect the rules here."
"Rules?" After such a collision, Natsume regained consciousness.
He sighed secretly, and sure enough he still couldn't do that kind of humiliation. He slowly stood up and turned his back to the people in the room and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to attack the advance team and persecute my friends?"
"Giggle, my name is Zhuo Qingrou, and I am a dog raised by the Qingshui family. I will do whatever the master tells me, so I can't answer your questions." The charming woman Zhuo Qingrou smiled sweetly, but she looked at it
Natsume's eyes were extremely cold.
The samurai sitting cross-legged closed his eyes and said, "The old Nobu Takeda is a guest of the Shimizu family. Thanks to Miss Gen, the head of the Shimizu family, he now serves as the leader of a loyal samurai. The old man is only responsible for guarding Karizukiju, and the rest.
, I won’t ask any questions at all.”
After Takeda Shin finished speaking, the man in the suit said calmly, "My name is Hatoyama Kaiki. I am your technical advisor. I am mainly responsible for the research, development and application of mimicry crystals. I will also ignore the rest..."
In the end, the woman in the front seat and the handsome man dressed as a prodigal were left, but both of them remained silent.
After listening to these people announcing their homes, Natsume said quietly, "It turns out that they have entered the wolf's den... Ha... I was thinking before, who has such confidence to dare to be the enemy of the whole world, and now I finally
Once I see it clearly, I feel relieved..."
When he said this, Natsume saw that everyone in the three rooms had a colorful cube in their hand. It must be a prop for screening.
Seeing this, Natsume turned around and said, "Stop screening, I'll let you live, otherwise I will cause a huge mess and no one will be able to live well."
The woman in the first seat was silent, and she smiled faintly.
Takeda Nobu stood up and said, "Young man, I know you have some abilities, but this is Karitsuki Residence, the residence of Miss Huan and Mr. Huan. If you dare to act arrogantly here, then don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, Takeda Nobu slowly pulled out the long sword that was as black as ink.
