Evolution begins with Resident Evil

Kara, who was researching the T-02 virus, connected the phone, pressed the speakerphone and placed it next to the table, listening to Roman's report about Shirley.

"In the end, Leon refused to let us take Shirley back immediately for protection."

Roman didn't add any jealousy and told the truth.

Kara asked: "How did Shirley get it back? Was she injured?"

"The specific situation is unknown. Our people were severely injured before, and the rest are holding on at the checkpoint. The DSO team is also busy dealing with the sudden biohazard incident in Concord. In the end, Claire brought it back single-handedly."

Roman didn't ask Claire in detail how he found Shirley, but just reported that Shirley had been found.

After all, this is their main mission, so for the sake of rigor, he used the word "bring" instead of saying that Claire retrieved Shirley.

After hearing what the other party added, Kara was a little unhappy and said, "Why don't you investigate clearly first and then report to me? Do you think I have a lot of time?"

Simmons became increasingly obsessed with Ada, and pictures of the woman began to appear in his bedroom.

Some of these photos were secretly taken by him, and some were taken by Luo Guang for him.

Kara's heart became more and more urgent, worrying that if she continued like this, she would be unable to restore Simmons, who was gradually slipping into madness.

If Shirley successfully retrieves it, it will be enough to develop a new virus that can help her.

She didn't care much about the rest of the things, and naturally she didn't want Roman to disturb her again later for the same thing.

"I don't dare. There are just two urgent matters that require Professor Kara to make a decision."

But Simmons handed the matter directly to Kara, so Roman could only report it to Kara.

"Say it." Kara didn't waste any more words and quickly finished the matter.

Roman said: "The first thing is that Shirley's mother left a letter for her, but because of the obstruction from DSO, we were unable to review the content of the letter."

Seeing that Kara didn't speak, he said another thing: "The other thing is whether we need to end Shirley's vacation early? What should we do if DSO blocks it?"

Kara thought about it, and finally said slowly: "Shirley has read the letter. It's probably too late for you to report now."

Shirley had already found it, and the other party would definitely check the letter immediately, so there was no point in reporting to her about checking the letter.

She didn't understand why the other party asked such a time-wasting question.

Of course Roman knew it was too late now. He actually deliberately didn't bother with the letter at that time.

There was no special reason for doing this, it was just a little compassion for Shirley.

But this did not affect his decision to report the incident to Kara.

Because whether it is delayed or not is one thing, but whether it is reported to superiors is another.

Bullying one's superiors and concealing one's subordinates is a dead end in Organization X.

"Yes, we are just the FBI, and it would not be wise to choose to conflict with the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security..."

Now that Shirley had read it, Kara couldn't clear Shirley's memory, so she interrupted directly: "Okay, I don't want to hear your excuses. You can just confirm the content of the letter later."

Kara, who had always only focused on research, was responsible for managing her own research institute in the past, but the people inside it were all researchers who spoke straightforwardly. Things were basically related to research, and there were not so many trivial things that required her attention.

This was the first time she felt how hard it was to be a leader.

Their X organization pays attention to those who are capable, so there are basically no people in the management who are just doing nothing, so naturally they don't have Luo Guang's idea of ​​​​fishing.

"Received." Roman asked: "Then how should we deal with the second thing?"

"I told her to give her a week off, and then pick her up after the vacation is over."

Kara now regards Shirley as her friend. After the other party is frightened, it is better to let Claire and the others comfort her before taking her back to the institute.

But for safety reasons, she added: "You should strengthen your defense during this period to prevent this from happening again."

Although he should not question the judgment of his superiors, Roman still said: "Sir, although Shirley does not need to go back, does she need to undergo a physical examination?"

"Okay, I will send someone over there, and you can connect with me then."

Roman agreed.

After the troops of B.S.A.A. and F.B.C. came over, his men in charge of the checkpoint have returned to garrison. With the new reinforcements, if the enemy still dares to take action, he will definitely make it impossible for them to come back!

Kara hung up the phone and quickly refocused her attention on her research.

But after a while, someone interrupted her work.

It wasn't Roman, but someone she had assigned to conduct another study.

After Roman returned to the temporary command center from the old office building, he also reported Leon's speculation about the beekeeper organization.

This does not mean that he believes Lyon's guess, but he is rigorous and does not want to miss any possibilities.

He wasn't afraid that the other party's guess was wrong, but he was afraid that Leon would guess it right but he didn't report it, and then the blame would be his own.

Kara, who knew Leon's guess, did not rashly deny the statement. Instead, she sent someone to conduct experiments and use evidence to verify the authenticity of the guess.

According to her knowledge, there are two ways of brainwashing.

One is brainwashing related to hypnosis and psychology. This method is not stable and can be easily deactivated, but it is better than being concealed enough.

The other is brainwashing on the physical level, changing people's memories through surgery and other methods.

This practice easily leaves traces of the surgery, making it easier to spot.

But the problem is that this method is still in the theoretical stage, and it cannot be achieved even with the strength of Organization X.

"Director Kara, we have completed the tests and found no traces of surgery anywhere on the brain or body, let alone hypnosis or other problems."

"No useful findings at all?" Kara asked casually.

The person in charge said: "No. But we found that these people have one thing in common."

He did not sell out, and then said: "First, their memories are missing parts, and they only have memories of more than a year in their minds."

"More than a year of memories..." Kara thought about what this commonality meant.

The person in charge had other information and said: "We checked the information of other prisoners of the beekeeper organization, but the transcript did not mention this, so I hope the director can help confirm it."

The research institute is highly confidential, so the superiors can only ask the superiors to contact the captives and ask them to confirm.

"I know. I will go down and confirm." Kara hung up the phone.

If this is true, it is highly likely that the beekeeper organization controls memory-related technologies.

And having the ability to modify memory is actually no different from brainwashing.

So, did the agent named Leon really guess the truth correctly?

After Kara finished her instructions, she stopped her research and started thinking.

Although there is no conclusive evidence of brainwashing, the commonalities among these prisoners verify Lyon's agents from the side.

If this kind of technology could be obtained, would it allow Simmons to...

——

On the other side, after Leon hung up the phone with Luo Guang, he did not immediately tell Claire and Shirley about Luo Guang's plan.

As Luo Guang said, it was too late to send someone over now. We could only see if he could hold Roman back.

Leon was just taking a gamble now, and his hope was not great, so he did not tell Shirley and the others, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

After leaving the kitchen, he first checked with his men for the latest news on the biohazard in Concord, and then searched for information on the Boston bombing.

After seeing the situation at the scene, he finally understood what Luo Guang meant.

Holmes did not ask him for help, which was indeed a lucky decision for Lyon and other DSO agents.

But it also made him appreciate the other party even more.

Before Leon could do anything else, Roman came to Claire's house again.

Although the other party definitely doesn't welcome him and doesn't look at him well, he doesn't care. This is his job.

Roman said straight to the point: "As mentioned above, Shirley can stay here for a week before returning to the institute, but we will definitely set up defenses around the area. Please don't take Shirley around."

"Copy that." Leon said sarcastically and immediately closed the door.

Roman quickly blocked the position with quick eyes and hands, preventing the other party from closing the door.

Leon couldn't trap the other party with the door, so he could only let him in with a look of helplessness.

He said: "Roman, what do you mean? Are you afraid that the head of the household will shoot you if you break into a house without permission?"

"FBI, open the door!" Roman didn't say any more nonsense and just took out his ID and went through the process.

Leon didn't reply and looked at the other party's performance.

"Tell me, can you give us that letter?"

"No letter."

"What do you mean?" Luo Manxu squinted his eyes and stared at the young man in front of him.

Leon replied: "Literally, there is only a piece of white paper inside the envelope. We have tried various methods but the fonts have not been displayed."

Naturally, Roman would not believe this and said, "Do you think I would believe this kind of lie?"

Leon acted aboveboard and said, "I know you won't believe it, but it's the truth."

He then asked: "Is Andrea really entrusted by Shirley's mother? You should have searched her room, right?"

Roman had doubts on his face, but he still answered the other party's question and said: "The result of the interrogation is this. The other party did not resist and told everything before entering the interrogation room."

"As for her home search, we naturally did it and found no letters from Shirley's mother."

Leon didn't care at all about the suspicious eyes of the other party and said, "Does she have anything from Umbrella Company at home? Or is she really from Umbrella Company?"

"Why do you guys from the Secret Service always question our FBI's case-handling methods? We are much more professional than you."

This is what Roman is most dissatisfied with Lyon.

Leon just said silently: "Maybe it's the influence of the TV series."

Roman was stunned, not expecting to get such an answer.

Indeed, in order to highlight the protagonist, many TV dramas will arrange plots such as the police being late and the FBI being tricked.

In the end, he skipped the topic and said: "We have searched her home, and there is nothing from Umbrella Company. There is no problem with her identity. She once worked at the Umbrella headquarters in Raccoon City. After escaping from Umbrella Company, , Naturally, Umbrella Company’s items will not be saved.”

It was just stalling for time anyway, so Leon slowly began to think.

Roman also spent time with the other party, and he was not in a hurry now.

Lyon said: "What is her position? Why does she interact with people from the institute?"

"Logistics manager, she knows Annette because the two of them often exchange research materials, and they have become familiar with her as soon as they go back and forth."

It doesn't sound like a problem, and you don't necessarily need to be connected at work to get to know each other and become friends.

Roman made a judgment: "Anyway, Andrea's words are correct, including her experiences after leaving Raccoon City."

Leon didn't question it anymore and said, "But there is only a piece of white paper in the envelope. How about you take this away and check if there is any special paint on it?"

"Bring it to you."

Roman would not be polite and said: "It would be fine if there is really invisible paint on it, and it is really just a piece of white paper. There will definitely be a lot of trouble for you in the future."

"This is a fact, and there's nothing I can do about it." Leon replied angrily.

He is not afraid of investigation, but he is afraid of trouble, especially for things that are difficult to prove on his own.

If I had known, he would have filmed a video of opening an envelope.

…

Shirley and others came down from the second floor.

When she saw Roman, she immediately hid behind Claire and looked at him timidly.

"This is the letter you asked for." Claire handed the envelope to Roman.

Leon looked at the envelope and sighed, thinking that if he had known this, he would have just checked it with Roman.

Roman opened the envelope directly, took out the white paper inside, and asked, "Are you sure this is the letter?"

After Claire saw Leon's text message, she was also thinking about how to explain the blank piece of paper, and said, "If we want to lie to you, wouldn't it be better if we just forge a letter with words?"

"Perhaps you just plan to use this kind of reverse thinking to deceive me? It's all a blank piece of paper anyway. Isn't it up to you to tell whether it is true or false?"

Shirley took the initiative and said, "This is the letter from Andrea."

Thinking that there was nothing in the letter, tears welled up in her red eyes.

Roman sneered and said to Shirley: "How do you know that the letter they showed you was the one Andrea wanted to give you? Or they took advantage of your absence and read the letter first, and then found that there was something wrong in it. I want you to know something, so why not replace it with a blank piece of paper?”

What he said was sowing discord, and Claire became furious when she heard this.

"Claire wouldn't do that!" But Shirley's words came out first.

Roman was full of malice and said, "Why do you say that? Just because she saved you? You know what you say but not what you mean."

"Because..." Shirley responded in a hurry: "The sealing glue on the envelope was dry! I finally opened it myself, and there was only this piece of white paper inside."

Roman looked at the serious Shirley. He said these things just to make Shirley's mood fluctuate violently, and then he couldn't help but tell the situation at that time.

Although Shirley was almost an adult, she had no intentions due to her experience, so Roman believed what she said more.

So after hearing Shirley's words, he stopped worrying about Xin and said, "Okay, I hope you won't suffer from the two of them in the future."

Roman has other things to say when he comes here: "I have two other things to say. One is that Shirley can't leave here until the end of the holiday. We will also send someone to do a detailed physical examination on her later."

Leon's eyes flashed, and then it was up to him to see if he could delay time.

Claire had no objection to Roman's arrangement. She also wanted to confirm Shirley's health and asked, "What about the other thing?"

Roman said: "Claire, I want to know how you rescued Shirley alone?"
