2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

On the top floor of the hospital, there is a small black round table in the center of the hall, which is tens of meters high and covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters.

On one side of the round table, a man with handsome features and an ageless figure wearing a gray-blue fine tailoring suit leaned on the back of a chair, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

His position was facing a dark brown door that was as heavy and luxurious as a Western-style palace. His dark eyes were unfocused and seemed to be thinking about something.

The chairs on the other side of the round table were empty, and it was obvious that the guests to be entertained tonight were still on their way.

At this moment, a dull machine sound sounded. The door in the distance opened slowly, and a figure wearing a black security uniform walked in. It was the hospital's security captain.

He walked quickly to the round table, but did not sit down. He just stood quietly, as if waiting for instructions from the man in a gray-blue suit.

"Sit down." The man raised his glass and said with a smile.

However, the security captain did not move or respond, he just stood there like a puppet.

After that, the man didn't continue talking, he just sipped the red wine and waited silently and calmly.

About three minutes passed like this, and a helpless expression appeared on the man's face: "Sit down, the one inside."

The security captain still stood quietly, but at some point there was a figure behind him.

"Did you know I was coming?" the boy asked.

"We noticed you when you appeared at the door of the hospital." The man smiled.

"How did you find me?"

"We left some marks on you last time."

Zhan Lewen's heart gradually sank. He knew what the other party's "last time" was referring to. The original plan of these guys was to get rid of themselves through official help, but instead they came four students from Chenkyo University.

Unexpectedly, they had made two preparations. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would be able to control their movements at all times in the future.

Although when the other party spoke for the first time, he already knew in his heart that he was doomed to be unlucky tonight, but Zhan Lewen remained calm on the surface: "Since you have grasped my movements, why did you let the two people traveling with me enter the negative one?" layer?"

"Because of you, they know about this place. Since keeping it is also a hidden danger, it's better to get rid of it altogether." The man tilted his head when he spoke, trying to see the young man hiding behind the security captain. However, the former was tall and strong. Cover your back tightly.

There was a hint of helplessness on his face, and he rubbed his eyebrows: "Come out and sit down, don't think about using him as a hostage, he doesn't care about his own life or death."

Zhan Lewen did not respond, still sticking closely behind the security captain.

Seeing this, the man did not continue to persuade, but just raised his hand and waved casually. After receiving the order, the security captain took out a pistol from his waist, turned on the safety, and put it against his temple.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out, and the head-brained security captain fell to the floor.

Zhan Lewen still stood there, even though his side face was spattered with a few drops of blood, his eyes were still staring at the man across the round table gloomily and fiercely like a wolf.

The death of the security captain was like a balloon being deflated, and it did not divert the attention of the two people in the slightest.

"Sit down." The smile on the man's face was warm and gentle, and he stretched out his hand to motion for the young man to sit down opposite him.

Zhan Lewen did not refuse this time, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"When we first meet, you can call me Priest." The man raised his glass with a smile, but received no response, so he had no choice but to take a sip himself.

Zhan Lewen looked around. Only the center of the hall was illuminated by light, while the surrounding area was completely dark. He turned his head, looked at the other person calmly and asked, "Both of you were there that day?"

The reason why he fell into a trap last time and was discovered by Yan Muyun and others was because of two people. One of them can summon chains out of thin air to bind his hands and feet, and the other has space powers and can tear out tunnels leading to other places directly in the void.

If those two people were here, he could basically give up the struggle tonight.

"What if I say I'm not here?" the priest smiled.

"I will kill you." The boy said seriously.

The priest patted his chest and pretended to be frightened: "It's a good thing I left them all behind."

Two figures stepped out of the darkness at the right time, exposing half of their bodies to the light.

Seeing the face of the young man in front of him becoming more and more gloomy, the smile on the priest's face became more and more intense. But he did not speak to ridicule the other party. Instead, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Is there a possibility that if you don't kill me tonight, I won't kill you either?"

"Why?" Zhan Lewen narrowed his eyes.

"Because the conflict between us was a misunderstanding from beginning to end." The priest turned his head slightly and looked at the darkness diagonally behind him: "Bring him out."

When the man turned his head, Zhan Lewen's eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent. But when he thought that the ghostly chains could subdue him in an instant, he still sat there without moving.

An old man with his hands and feet tied, his body covered with injuries, and his eyes covered with black cloth, was thrown out. He lay motionless on the ground and seemed to have fallen into a coma.

Zhan Lewen frowned slightly: "I don't know him."

The priest tapped his fingers on the table: "You don't know him, but everything happened because of him."

"What's the meaning?"

"He is behind the posts on Jiike, the sudden increase in 'parasites', and the high-priced sale of drugs that can suppress the desire to devour human flesh." The priest turned sideways and stepped on the old man's face with one foot, his expression Somewhat sad:

"Wang Houde, the breeder of the 'Queen', was a thief. He secretly withheld some of the 'seeds' and sold them to the poor civilians through Jie Ke."

Zhan Lewen listened in confusion, but he roughly understood the other party's main meaning: "What you want to say is that he was responsible for all those 'parasitic ghosts' who can disguise themselves as normal people?"

"We generally call them 'parasites'."

The priest first corrected his statement, and then nodded: "Yes, most of the parasites you have come into contact with were caused by him. Our hospital only has a hundred or so official customers in total, and generally they are They will not have strong desires such as cannibalism or assimilation of their own family members. Because the packages they purchase have enough 'inhibitory drugs', um, those little blue pills."

Zhan Lewen waited quietly for him to finish, and then asked: "Why should I believe you."

The priest smiled: "You have investigated so many 'parasites', you should know how much they cost to buy a blue pill, right?"

Zhan Lewen replied: "1,000 in the first month, 3,000 in the second month, and 5,000 in the third month. And the effect of the pills will become worse and worse. You need 1 pill in the first month, 3 pills in the second month, and 5,000 pills in the third month." You need 10 tablets a month.”

There is no fourth month, because the publication date of the post on Jieke was three months ago.

The priest nodded slightly, and then said: "For our 'formal clients', it costs ten million to implant the 'seed'. Blue pills are just the lowest-level inhibitory drugs, one cost one hundred thousand, and they can only be used for two months. In the future, we will provide Customers can inject more effective inhibitory injections, costing two million per injection, but they can guarantee that they won’t have strange thoughts for three months. Moreover, drug resistance will not develop, which means the effect will not diminish due to increased use.”

Zhan Lewen didn't speak, he understood what the other party meant.

"In terms of money-making efficiency, there is no need for us to post anything on 'Jie Ke', right?" The priest spread his hands, and the expression on his handsome face turned out to be a little innocent: "Moreover, these uncontrollable 'parasites' are getting more and more More and more will only increase the risk of our business being discovered by the authorities. There is no need for us to provoke the nerves of the Special Branch for such a small amount of money, right?"
