Latent Syndrome

Chapter 27 27. Burden Reduction Action

In the banquet hall, the music of the piano was melodious and the costumes were exquisite.

"This is Mr. Colin and her partner, Ms. Eugene. They are real estate businessmen from Western Europe. They are powerful. If they come up with a good cast lineup and script, money is just a trivial matter to them."

Due to being beaten by the countermeasures bureau, the semi-retired film industry giant introduced Colin to a group of directors.

The Countermeasures Bureau considered that the identities of the agents needed to be kept secret, otherwise they would be sniped by infected groups. Therefore, in the stock exchange incident, they only said that the Los Angeles Police Department solved the matter and forced the vicious criminal to a desperate situation before committing suicide. , making no mention of the two men at all, were awarded the Medal of Honor for Valor as compensation.

With the recommendation of industry giants.

The two of them attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall, because this boss is really important. The movies he has handled have created box office miracles several times. He is an evergreen tree in major film festivals. He once dominated an era and will The person he introduced like this probably had more than just strong financial resources.

This caused some commotion, and many filmmakers who were just starting out or had a bad reputation came to contact the two, hoping that Colin and the two would extend an olive branch.

As for some well-known directors, they have their own networks, so there is no need to get close to the two of them.

But Colin was not good at dealing with this kind of scene at all. He just chatted about it and didn't want to read those boring scripts.

Only now does Colin understand why Gray targeted him so much in the first place. This is because most patients with latent syndrome have extremely low controllability. Under the guidance of some contradictory issues or when stimulated by danger, they will lose their minds and go crazy indiscriminately. kill.

In the past few days since becoming an official agent, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing on the communication terminal. About 50% of the infected people will be swallowed up by their own visions and die. The remaining 30 to 40%, although they can It survives, but it is extremely easy to lose control and will completely go berserk once provoked.

There are only a very small number of infected people who can control themselves. The reason why I feel that there are many controllable infected people around me is just because of survivor bias.

Since the Countermeasures Bureau currently does not have the means to identify infected people, it is extremely dangerous for these infected people to lurk among the crowd on weekdays, so no matter how rigorous they are, they cannot be too rigorous.

But this does not mean that Colin can forget what Gray did to him. His body was beaten to pieces. That kind of thing did happen, and it happened twice.

Just when an eloquent director confused Colin.

As soon as the band's music changed, the banquet reached the middle stage, and many guests went to dance in the center of the hall.

This actually made Colin breathe a sigh of relief. Just in time to see the companion of his childhood dream go away, Colin took a deep breath and prepared to invite her to be his dance partner.

"Your companions have deserted you."

Colin stepped forward and spoke in a nonchalant manner.

"She's in a hurry, but it's you. Why don't you dance with the beautiful girl you brought?"

The actress probably guessed what Colin was thinking and wanted to decline politely. Although we could chat with him upstairs, she was not the type to dance with strangers.

"Oh, she is a lesbian and will be allergic when her body comes into contact with men."

Colin was running the train with his mouth full.

"But I see she is already dancing with a gentleman."

The actress is a bit weird.

Unlike Colin, Eugene didn't just rely on 500 yuan to get tonight's outfit. She got dressed up and spent 200,000 yuan on her mobile funds. She was completely transformed, and she was completely unrecognizable from the punk girl. , people who are not familiar with her would think that she is a member of some girl group.

Colin saw Eugene, who was extremely cheerful on the dance floor, dancing with a male star who often appeared in spy movies.

Colin: "..."

"Did you see through it?" Colin touched his nose, a little embarrassed, and continued: "I have already used such a trick, can you please stop asking me to think about other tricks? I'm not good at thinking about this kind of thing. .”

Colin pressed his eyebrows and pretended to be racking his brains.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

The actress stretched out her hand and motioned for Colin to hold her up.

Colin didn't expect that the actress would actually agree, and his mind went blank.

Is this how agents from the Countermeasures Bureau are treated? So fucking cool.

Colin stopped thinking about it and held the actress's hand. Although he couldn't dance at all, he still wanted to give it a try.

Hoshino Manatsu in the crowd had already noticed Colin and was a little surprised.

About seven days ago, something outrageous happened. Although I might have been overly worried at the time, and Colin called me a fool.

But how can there be such a coincidence in the world?

An unqualified person wearing a cheap coat and throwing cigarette butts everywhere can not only live in a high-end apartment, but also transform into a real estate tycoon, dancing with his arms around the waist of popular movie stars.

There's definitely something weird about this man.

At this time, Hoshino Manatsu noticed something moving on the ground. When he looked carefully, he saw two disgusting cockroaches crawling around.

strangeness……

Such a creature would never exist in a place like this.

…

…

…

one day ago.

Los Angeles, Shusk District, abandoned church.

Di Wei answered a call through the landline with a rather unhappy expression.

All the SCT members present were silent, because the only one who could make Di Zhu unhappy was that adult.

Bang bang bang...

Di Wei smashed the judgment gavel loudly.

"Find the most handsome person in the organization now."

Di Wei said to the person who had killed enough people to cover the funeral parlor's five-year turnover. He liked this guy who did things quickly, and he had a sense of humor that was quite likable.

The turnover in the past five years is somewhat speechless. I wonder what Di Biao's nerves are about.

"I don't know what the point of this request is."

Five years of turnover did know that there was a pretty boy who came here a while ago, and like himself, he was infected with latent syndrome.

"Although there are not enough staff now, and the organizations that Ash has annexed are still moving in one after another, the work still needs to be carried out. Pick the most handsome one for me."

Di Wei nodded, thinking his decision was a wise one.

Twenty minutes later.

People are found by five years of turnover.

"Fuck, I won't watch Titanic Part 2 without you."

Di Wei looked at the man in front of him. He was more handsome than he thought, and too handsome. He didn't know why he came to make a living. Maybe he was worried about being caught and killed by the Countermeasures Bureau.

"BOSS, do you have any instructions?"

The blond man said respectfully.

"I want you to dominate Laiwu."

Di Wei looked extremely serious.

Blond man: "???"

He calmed down for a while, then regained his energy from his dull face, and replied: "I'm sorry, I don't know what to do."

Di Wei lit a cigarette, took a deep hiss, and said: "Once upon a time, I had a friend who was in the transportation industry. But his business had been bleak. Later he found that the entire city's logistics had been taken over by some bullies. Although he had a monopoly, he still became bigger and stronger in the end, do you know why?"

The blond man shook his head, looking confused.

"Because he killed all those bullies, you know what I mean?"

Di Wei stretched out his hand to rub the man's blond hair and added: "I just need you to kill some bullies, some popular directors and stars, so that the transportation industry can transport and the film industry can make movies. You know, like Trucks can only carry so much goods, and theaters can only line up so many movies. We need to reduce the burden on the industry. This is a just cause."

But the blond man's next words almost made Di Wei vomit blood.

"However, I have never killed anyone. I have only killed a few when I lost control, but it was unconscious. I don't know how to do it. What if I meet a celebrity I like?"

The blond man told the truth, maybe it was the youthful age of his early twenties that made him say these words.

"Hiss..." Di Wei took a breath of air, "You are really a fucking genius. You have to understand that those people, their brains, always want to control what they lead. They are one of the originators of all kinds of corrupt ideas. From a moral perspective, killing them is the same as killing cars, vacuum cleaners, Barbie dolls, wiping computer disks or burning books."

Di Wei suddenly felt that what he said was wrong, and continued: "Perhaps killing everyone in this world is like this. We are all just mass-produced goods."

"Anyway, take this, bring a few good guys, give them some color, let them know that SCT is coming."

Di Wei handed a gun to the blond man.

"I understand. After the operation, do I have to shout something like "Don't mess with the SCT"?

The blond man asked seriously.

"Haha." Di Wei was completely amused, "It doesn't matter that we have children, we are just an unknown charity organization."

"But, I am an infected person. Will I use a gun or a vision?"

Perhaps it was his first time on duty, and the blond man was meticulous about everything and thought everything had to be done precisely.

"As you like... okay."

Di Wei was speechless.
