Enforcer's Handbook

Facing his daughter who was about to be "abducted", the old father Gustave was extremely anxious, but in the face of Song Lan's doubts, he could not give strong evidence for a while.

All the early investigation work was completed by Qi He. For many years, they had believed in Qi He and never considered another possibility - for example, Qi He lied.

In order to deal with his political opponents and the company system, he needs some trustworthy people. Monica is the child he likes, and there are many children like her in the organization.

Whether true or not, Monica's father told a "complete" story.

However, before Gustav can explain everything to Monica, an unexpected phone call interrupts all his plans.

Qi He, who had disappeared all night, called him. His voice on the phone was stiff and cold. He announced that District 4's plan had failed and ordered him to abandon Monica and return to the organization immediately. Regarding the latter's Asked, he refused to give any substantive explanation.

The sudden change in Qihe forced Gustav to doubt another possibility.

Monica's father died in a private car bombing.

The law enforcement officer investigated human tissue at the scene, checked all clues, and finally determined the authenticity of the report.

But all this comes from Qi He's unilateral statement. They have no way and no way to prove its authenticity. Before Monica's "father" appeared, they believed it firmly.

Monica did not believe the other party easily. Everyone knew that it was not difficult to change one's appearance in 2167. After meeting the other party, she used her only remaining memory of her father to ask the other party, including many questions. Details that not even the organization nor Gustav knew.

However, the other party all gave the most accurate response.

"Monica said she wanted some quiet time."

Walking on the bustling street, Gustav looked up at the floats floating over their heads. After so many major events, life in District 4 has not come to a standstill. A party is being held here. At this celebration, all the participants were bathed in the joyful and lively atmosphere, but he felt that he was somewhat out of tune with the whole world.

He must carefully consider Qi He's order.

It stands to reason that he should follow the other party's instructions and immediately leave the Fourth District, a place of right and wrong.

The assassination attempt failed and the founder of Kolo Films was still alive.

Coupled with the recent death of the national rescuer "Black Sand", the coalition government is very likely to send a six-star rescuer.

Gustave guessed that this was Qi He's reason for asking him to retreat. It was not a good idea to confront the six-star rescuer alone. Not everyone in the world was as easy to talk to as Song Lan.

In the end, he had to ask the people around him for help, "Old Song, what suggestions do you have?"

Looking at Gustave, who seemed to be middle-aged and whose life was unsatisfactory due to various pressures, Song Lan suddenly had a strange feeling.

Does he, a good young man in his early twenties, look like the type who has extensive experience in raising children?

But since the other party asked the question sincerely, Song Lan, who adhered to the principle of politeness, still expressed her thoughts, "You follow her secretly first. Monica is in a state of confusion now. The book says that she is a criminal now." Take advantage of the opportunity."

"Book? What book?"

"Criminal Minds."

In addition to "A Love Tip Every Day", Lu Xiang's bookshelf is full of books of this type. She is a diligent and studious person. She bought a lot of paper books to expand her bookshelf. She usually uses them after returning home from get off work. Read in your free time to improve your professional knowledge.

As for Song Lan...

When he was pretending, he would pick up the book and turn a few pages to pretend that he was actually a diligent and studious person.

Of course, these were all things when he first moved into Lu Xiang's apartment.

At that time, when I first arrived at my supervisor's house, I was still a little cautious in every aspect, and I couldn't sit on the sofa and watch a movie as if there was no one around like now.

"I understand, thank you, Lao Song."

Gustave nodded and chased after Monica in the direction she left.

Song Lan found a chair in the square and sat down. He watched the crowds of people following the limo not far away, and finally had time to think alone.

Qihe is awake?

Did you call Gustav as soon as you woke up and ask him to evacuate Area 4?

He always felt that this matter was full of strangeness, so he sent a text message to Dr. Bai Zhu. A few minutes later, the small cleaning robot of the Eden Hotel climbed up to the window of their apartment and brought him the latest news about Qi He. information.

Qi He was still in a coma, lying motionless on the sofa.

So the person who called just now was probably not Qi He who was still in their room.

When he and Lu Xiang left the room one after another, they discovered something unusual about Qi He. The insect swarm version of "hand sanitizer" repaired Qi He's wounds within a few minutes, but he didn't do anything about it. There were no signs of waking up, and Lu Xiang suspected that his coma was probably caused by other reasons.

…………………………

On the other side, the hover car carrying Lu Xiang slowly landed in a remote alley.

This road does not lead to the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau, nor can it return to the Eden Hotel. If it were not for the new team leader who took over the case to lead the way, it would be hard for Lu Xiang to imagine that there would be such a deserted place in District 4. This road The street looked deserted.

"Get out of the car."

The automatic door of the floating car opened. The team leader got out of the car first and walked toward the deep alley alone.

This kind of place looks like an area with a high incidence of cases.

Or maybe it just happens to be the secret underground cloning laboratory of the founder of Kolo Films.

This is also the reason why Lu Xiang accepted the other party's "invitation".

Of course, the official excuse was that she broke into the crime scene as an unrelated person. According to the procedures of the Bureau of Investigation, she had to go back to the Bureau to be investigated together. Although Teacher Catherine tried to use her own identity to protect her, Lu Xiang unilaterally The ground agreed.

After a while, the two of them went deep into the alley and came to an open area.

"I remember this was not the way to the Bureau of Investigation."

After standing still, Lu Xiang looked around and took the initiative to break the silence.

The Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau is different from MI7. It is an organization on the surface and has office buildings in various cities. Only MI7's offices are located in these hidden corners.

Lu Xiang then asked, "Or is this the place you use to silence yourself?"

"Shut up? No, Director Lu, you are very important, of course we won't do that."

The new team leader shook his head and said, "We appreciate your character very much, but we found that part of your thinking is still relatively outdated and needs to be upgraded and reformed. There is no need to blame yourself. This is not your fault. After all, human thoughts cannot surpass theirs. Cognitive level.”

As he spoke, the entire alley began to stir.

The abandoned houses sprouted what Song Lan described as "surveillance probes", which now turned into pairs of eyes, watching her uninvited guest.

More and more weapons were revealed.

The changes deep in the alley reminded Lu Xiang of the biological viruses mentioned in the movies Song Lan had watched. These viruses would turn infected people into zombies with no autonomous consciousness and were only driven by the urge to eat. This mechanical virus infection But it's not just living things, even buildings seem to be a breeding ground for their growth.

Those weapons aimed at Lu Xiang at the same time, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't be nervous, it's just some minor surgery and it will be completed soon."

The new team leader issued the order.

But the scorching lasers and dense bullets did not appear as expected. He looked at the prepared weapons in confusion, and soon discovered the reason why the weapons misfired.

The indescribable granulation covered the machinery without knowing when, and even the camera probe was no exception. The flashing red part was covered by a biofilm, and eyeballs grew out of the biofilm, which made him a The object being looked at.

Then there was a vibration under his feet, and he could feel something breaking out of the ground.

With a muffled sound, the first thing that came into his sight was a pair of sharp scythes. What emerged from the ground was some kind of insect that he had never seen before. It easily knocked the new team leader to the ground. It was so powerful that it was immeasurable. It was so heavy that he couldn't move.

Through the gaps in the insect's carapace, the team leader saw that the abnormal growth was still continuing. Flesh and flesh tissue covered the ground like a carpet, and they penetrated into the walls and even beneath the surface.

About ten seconds later, Lu Xiang received the report.

The secret biological laboratory of Kolo Films is not here. From the reaction of the team leader, it is easy to see that he knows nothing about what happened in District 17. This is good news.

"What's this?"

The team leader struggled to make a sound. As soon as he opened his mouth, the granulation penetrated along his lips. He could feel that something was drilling into his brain.

Then, his consciousness was interrupted.

"His consciousness was reclaimed."

Dr. Bai Zhu's voice came to Lu Xiang's ears. This result was not unexpected, "I didn't expect that they really built the "Sea of ​​Souls"."

"Can we trace it in?"

"I'm afraid there are some difficulties. I have never seen this kind of technical means. It seems to have gone beyond virtual data itself."

Although she didn't want to admit it, Bai Zhu knew that those who pursued immortality eventually found hackers who were better than her. This was also the first time she was at a disadvantage in a head-to-head confrontation.

However, she did understand what the team leader meant by "upgrade and innovation" and "minor surgery".

"I guess they originally planned to package your consciousness and upload it to the "Sea of ​​Souls", and then find you a new body that is exactly the same... These are all what I heard from hearsay, plus some personal details of mine. judge."

Bai Zhu paused and said, "In the 'Sea of ​​Souls', the concept of time will become extremely blurred, and human consciousness will become data that can be manipulated. The holder of the database has the authority to rewrite consciousness, so It's like your consciousness is a folder, which stores all your memories from the moment you were born to the present. They can rewrite and replace certain files. When the folder is repackaged and put into a new body, you don't Any anomalies will be detected and the replaced parts will be believed to be true."

This is why the original fanatics still found ways to revive the project even after it was scrapped by the coalition government.

Modifying other people's memories, and even their entire lives, seems to be a power that only God has.

The original purpose of this plan is to integrate the consciousness of all members of the coalition government. In other words, once this plan succeeds, the holders of the "Sea of ​​Souls" can decide the entire coalition government based on their own wishes. s future.

"It is very possible that Qi He's consciousness has been uploaded into the "Sea of ​​Souls"?"

Lu Xiang suddenly thought of Qi He, who had not yet woken up. If his consciousness had been stripped of his body, his body would have fallen into a vegetative state.

This state has been mentioned in several academic journals on psychic abilities.

"It's possible."

Bai Zhu was noncommittal, "If they successfully extracted Qi He's consciousness, it wouldn't be so important whether his body was dead. But you said that Qi He came to you with all his strength, which shows that they may have There was some accident that resulted in incomplete awareness of the extraction.”

Using her "folder" theory, it means that the files uploaded to the "Sea of ​​Souls" are missing.

Bai Zhu hoped that what was missing were some important documents.

Through remote monitoring, she witnessed the entire process of the team leader's body being dragged underground.

After a while, the flesh, flesh, tissue and machinery receded, and the alley returned to its previous calm state, as if nothing happened just now.

"If nothing else happens, you should see him again soon."

Bai Zhu was vaguely aware that this time his opponent was a bit tricky, "He will bring this experience of failure and death with him."

In this case, they seem to have become the boss in the game, and these consciousnesses existing in the "Sea of ​​Souls" have become players who challenge the boss.

Maybe they were not strong at the beginning, but they were able to learn from their experiences of failure and prepare more unexpected plans.

The longer it goes on, the worse it will be for them.

"The 'Sea of ​​Souls' has blocked me out, but if you can find the biological laboratory of Kolo Films, you can temporarily prevent their rebirth."

"Um."

Lu Xiang boarded the suspended vehicle that had been completely modified by the Devoured Ones. Under the guidance of the vehicle system, he drove towards the place where Song Lan was.

Now all we need is this Slowpoke, who always claims to be a wise general, to use his brains and try to find out the biological laboratory of Kolo Films.

The hover car brought Lu Xiang back to the downtown area. People enjoying the festival were unaware of the threats they faced and what was happening in the city.

As soon as the hover car landed, Lu Xiang accurately found Song Lan, who was sitting alone on a chair in the square.

At this moment, she, who had always remained calm and composed, could no longer hold on.

The exciting melody in the square made her break through, and her extremely sharp eyes followed Song Lan's line of sight to the source of the music.

A group of hot-bodied dancers were dancing vigorously to the music.

Latex top, latex skirt, knee-high latex socks.

The spare parts exposed parts of their thighs and waists.

Song Lan, on the other hand, seemed not to notice her arrival at all until Lu Xiang blocked his sight from the dancer.

"looks good?"

Lu Xiang looked at Song Lan condescendingly and asked with a half-smile.

Song Lan was brought back to reality by the question. He was immersed in his exquisite reasoning and did not notice the changes in the outside world.

He subconsciously thought that Lu Xiang was asking about her own dress today.

Do you still need to think about the answer to this question?

The famous detective Song Lan feels that this cannot even be called a problem. He is now going to tell those who have not read "A Love Tip Every Day" a life principle.

Even if you are in a daze and didn't notice when your girlfriend came over, it doesn't matter, because there is only one standard answer to this question.

"It's beautiful, very beautiful!"

Song Lan gave the answer without hesitation.

But for some reason, this time, when he said this standard answer, Lu Xiang didn't smile at him.

All he felt was the cold.

Winter-like coldness.

A lot of people have caught a cold recently, so please take care of yourself!

Small theater one hundred and ninety-nine:

Tuesday, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, noon.

An uninvited guest interrupted Song Lan and Lu Xiang's discussion about wedding photos. The visitor was a staff member of Song Lan's department. He looked worried.

After people in the department found out that Lu Xiang was his girlfriend, they never stopped providing relationship counseling.

During that initial period, he had to clarify to everyone that his abilities had nothing to do with mind control and that he was not Yuri X.

"I'm already a little afraid to face her."

The subordinate was crestfallen, "She works in the prosecutor's department, and when she gets angry she can choke people and make them speechless."

"You can prepare a bag of potato chips, preferably in her favorite flavor."

"Then what?"

The subordinate's eyes lit up, it didn't sound difficult.

"As soon as she talks, put a potato chip in her mouth."

Song Lan shared his own experience. This was how he dealt with Lu Xiang before.

Although Lu Xiang rarely gets angry at him, there are times when she has to call him a "broom star" when she has nothing to do. Some small snacks can effectively interrupt Lu Xiang's "casting".

The subordinate left with satisfaction.

"Is this how you treated me before?"

When the room fell into silence, Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect you... ugh."

The sweet taste filled her taste buds, and in the blink of an eye she had bitten down half of the egg tart.

Song Lan didn't speak and didn't need to speak. Facts speak louder than words.

Just as he folded his hands around his chest and enjoyed the joy in a victor's posture, a pair of hands suddenly held his face.

Then, the taste of egg tarts and another slippery thing entered his mouth.
