Darkness is Coming

  Although subjectively unacceptable, it is an irrefutable fact that John Reese's statement can perfectly connect and explain all the unreasonable.

  It was a difficult job for Xu Le to deal with these complex information, which made him dazed for a while. During this period of daze, Xu Le suddenly realized something and figured it out.

  If the "machine" really exists, what can it be used for?

   Xu Le can think of the most important use, of course, to find out the hidden mutants!

   Now that the mutants have learned how to hide themselves and integrate into the normal human society, the domestic intelligence department can be optimistic about the country, but it is beyond the reach of foreign mutants.

What is even more troublesome for the senior management of the control center is that even if the governments of various countries have enough foresight to realize that countries around the world should unite to eliminate the mutants, they may not be able to detect mutants with hidden identities, because some mutants Hidden identities are their real identities.

   This is the great power of Bai's creation of the temple and the demagogic form of religion. There will always be people who will pin their spirits on religion when they are desperate or lose their minds. If a citizen living in the American Federation voluntarily transforms into a mutant after being deceived, and continues to maintain his human identity under the order of the temple, disguised as a normal person, then he will not show any abnormality if he does not take the initiative to attack humans. Under such circumstances, it would be even more difficult for intelligence agencies to see through his true identity.

   The difficulty is not in the collection of evidence, but in the identification of targets. If the intelligence agencies of the U.S. federal government confirm that a certain "citizen" is a mutant that has been transformed and disguised as a normal human being, then after investing some resources for 24-hour uninterrupted tracking and monitoring, some clues can always be caught. But the conundrum is, how do intelligence agencies know what to target? Since mutants can disguise themselves as humans, everyone can be a target. No intelligence agency in the world can handle such a daunting workload.

The only way Xu Le could think of was to set up checkpoints in every city and township, and to conduct a national census from time to time, so that everyone would line up with their ID cards and eat a certain amount of food in front of the inspector to prove that he was still alive. pure human.

However, this method also has major drawbacks. The first is the problem of cost consumption. The huge workload means a lot of waste of human and financial resources. The second is the population of black households. There are a large number of black households in every country. It is quite difficult to do a comprehensive census with Huaxia in the sub-district office, let alone a developed country like the United States where illegal immigrants and illegal guns are rampant? In the end, no one can be sure to what extent the current mutants have evolved, and who knows if they have evolved new abilities to forcibly swallow human food without reacting abnormally?

   All these, it is difficult to solve the variants hidden in European and American countries.

   However, if there is an intelligence artifact such as a "machine", the situation will change dramatically.

  Since the "machine" can monitor and monitor the whole country, and process massive amounts of information, it can analyze and search for victims of terrorists and murders, so can it be used to search and locate variants?

   The answer should be yes, even terrorists who are lurking and plotting can’t escape the eyes of the “machine”, let alone mutants? After all, not every mutant can possess a chilling intelligence like Bai, and the IQ of most mutants is actually not high. Moreover, mutants always need to replenish energy to eat human flesh. No matter how well they hide, they will inevitably leave traces. When they are not aware of it, cameras and mobile communication devices all over the place will faithfully detect these Trace record collection.

Xu Le couldn't help thinking that if the legendary figure who created the "machine" was allowed to go further on the original basis and create a large-scale monitoring system that could identify mutants, the mutants hiding in western developed countries would Nothing to hide!

At that time, the mutants can only hide in some underdeveloped countries or even some islands and deserts far away from the Internet. The inability to penetrate into developed countries means that they cannot truly integrate into human society, and it also means that their food will be more scarce and living space. Gradually closed and narrowed, losing any possibility of turning over. Then, sooner or later, human beings will be able to wipe out all the mutants!

   What an exciting discovery!

  Xu Le couldn't restrain his excitement. He grabbed John Reese's collar and shouted, "I understand! You are partners of justice! Let me join you!"

   For Xu Le, killing mutants is justice, and this handsome uncle and the legendary figure hidden behind the scenes in his mouth may hold the key weapon to destroy mutants, and they are of course partners of justice.

   Xu Le is not good at words, and knows that he is not good at persuading others, but words are irrelevant in the face of interests, Xu Le believes that the other party will not shut out a senior superpower.

John Reese, however, snorted, shook his head, and said, "I don't know your true identity, Mr. Lewis, but I know you're not a real murderer. You should leave this place immediately while you have the chance. nation."

   After finishing speaking, John Reese took out a thick envelope from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed it to Xu Le.

"Here's the passport, driver's license, cash and social security number you need, throw away all your weapons, rent a car, hit the road, get out of New York State, go to another state for an international flight, go to Europe, go to South America, or go to North Africa, depending on your ability, you can always find a place to live. Staying here will not only kill you, but also kill more innocent people.”

  Xu Le tilted his head, thought for a moment, then reached out to take the envelope, thanked him, then turned around and left without further entanglement or sluggishness.

  John Reese watched Xu Le's back go away, shrugged, and turned his legs in another direction.

Three minutes later, Xu Le returned to the original place, and followed the route that John left when he left. After closing the distance, Xu Le turned on his ability. Whenever John used the anti-tracking strategy, Xu Le would use his ability to detect first. to John's movements, and then hides himself in the blind spot of his vision.

Half a mile away, a short but slender sniper took off the peaked cap above his head, spread his long smooth brown-black hair to his shoulders, and pressed the earphone to give an order: "One group withdraws, two groups take over, three groups stand by, and no approach is allowed. Target within a hundred yards."

Two kilometers away, a tall, handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes removed his disguise, revealing a pair of big deformed ears, closed his eyes to listen, and then whispered an address to a fellow beside him with a swollen neck, the latter bulging his throat, Let out a cry that only the people of the temple can hear.

  In the lower town at the southern end of Manhattan, in New York's Chinatown, a group of young men dressed in black walked out of a spacious house, and every move was awe-inspiring.

   Under the dim yellow street light, John Reese looked at an old abandoned library in front of him, sighed, walked into the dark corridor full of dust, and reached out to touch his right ear.

   "Hey Finch, I think the fish are hooked."
