"Colonel Chen!"
Rows of incandescent lamps are embedded in the walls, making the light in this passage bright but not dazzling.
Chen Jing, who had just finished the surgery and had put on a well-fitting casual suit, her hair neatly combed, and even put on a pair of high heels with a heel of more than ten centimeters, Chen Jing, held a stack of documents, walked through this cold and stiff passage, and walked toward the end of the passage to the office. The two guards at the door saluted her in unison.
Chen Jing nodded to them, and then the guard on the left opened the office door for her.
In the spacious office, Professor Bai, wearing a white coat, was bent over, holding a magnifying glass and looking carefully at an old document on the table, and posted many photos on a writing board next to him.
Some of these photos are anatomical diagrams of "Qin Ran", and some are analysis reports on various aspects.
"Professor Bai."
Chen Jing closed the door with his backhand, put the document in his hand on the table, and said, "The Xu family father and daughter's confession, as well as the location where they collected the artworks this time, and the information of the waste search team, are all here. I have seen it just now, and there is reason to suspect that those people may have been looking for the painting in the city for a long time, and they have been there for a long time."
She said, paused slightly, and said, "When I asked Xu Xiao Xiao before, she once mentioned that because of her selfishness after seeing the painting, she had deliberately concealed the existence of the painting and quietly moved it to another container. She did this very carefully, not even her father knew about it, and naturally no one else could find out the news..."
"So I guess..."
She frowned slightly. Although she was talking about speculation, her tone sounded very certain, "Actually, the ability users outside the city have long known that this painting is in her hands. They may even have found the batch of artworks that their father and daughter placed at Bangbu Port. However, they did not find this painting from those batches of artworks, so they have been dormant until now."
"It wasn't until Xu Xiao Xiao left Main City and exposed this painting that they got the chance to take action."
"..."
As she spoke, she put a pile of materials that seemed to be temporarily printed out in front of Professor Bai, and said, "Through these things, we can also analyze some factors. Those ability users outside the city should not be able to directly enter Main City to find Xu Xiao Xiao, so they need to wait for opportunities outside. But they may also have their own spies in Main City, otherwise..."
"They couldn't know exactly when Xu Xiao Xiao came out, and they even made preparations in advance to ambush us."
As she spoke, she told her plan, "Before coming here, I had arranged for someone to investigate the consulting company that privately hired individual soldiers to help the Xu family father and daughter deal with the problem. After all, in the clearest sense, they are the ones most likely to leak the secret!"
"..."
Professor Bai Listening to Chen Jing, he slowly straightened up and said, "How is your injury?"
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, then said, "No problem!"
"You still need to pay attention to rest."
Professor Bai said, "You can use your abilities to prevent yourself from feeling pain and it will not affect your work, but it does not mean that the wound does not exist. It will still put a huge load on you. People with abilities are also human beings, and you cannot treat yourself like a robot."
"I can't rest now."
Chen Jing was silent for a moment and then said, "This matter is very serious. I can't wait until we understand it."
"In fact, things are already very clear."
Professor Bai pulled a chair for Chen Jing, motioned for her to sit down and talk, and then said, "No. 041 special pollution source... or, just call him 'Qin Ran'. After all, this is the only thing we know about him now. He should be a very powerful ability user. Judging from his proficient use of abilities, he has at least reached the end of the first stage, and does not rule out the possibility of the second stage."
As he spoke, he looked at the photos of "Qin Ran" on the chopping board, one of which was being dissected, and his eyes seemed to be appreciative.
"This person is very bold, but also very cautious. He knows the defense work of Satellite City very well. Perhaps this is because he has a lot of experience living in High Wall City. Perhaps he came to the city just to steal this painting. However, whether it is for the purpose of disintegrating our defense system to facilitate his own actions, or to cause chaos, divert our energy, and prevent tracking..."
"The back-end work he left behind is a very dangerous thing for ordinary people."
"We can even be thankful that although the impact this time was large, the casualties were already much lower than expected."
"..."
Chen Jing frowned tightly and suddenly said, "If it's just a robber, then Technological Church..."
"I don't think this is Technological Church's will."
Professor Bai shook his head and said, "Judging from Technological Church's style, if they are really arranging all this, then there may be more than one spiritual bomb in the city. What is more consistent with my understanding is that this group of knights entering the city bought such a weapon from Technological Church and used it to contain our energy and prevent us from tracking them..."
"Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that Technological Church gave them instructions to detonate this bomb to observe the experimental data of the bomb and send a signal to other High Wall City and group forces as an advertisement. After all, judging from the observed data..."
"If that bomb did go off, the consequences would be serious."
"..."
"It's the work of a single soldier."
Chen Jing was silent for a while, then whispered, "And Minister Shen actually arranged for someone to monitor individual soldiers..."
"You know what Lao Shen is thinking. This is normal for him."
Professor Bai smiled and said, "Actually, I promised you to come here because I wanted to talk about this issue."
He pointed to the information on the writing board and said, "Let's talk about this mysterious knights."
"Looking at the previous data, many of the things they did are logical."
"But there's just one thing that seems a bit abrupt..."
"They had previously arranged for a mentally modified person to appear at Satellite City No. 2 and try to contact individual soldiers..."
"I was just scared away by a single soldier..."
"In any case, after testing the remaining samples, I can confirm that this mentally modified person is of the same nature as the mentally modified person who stayed in Jiujiang Road to attack you. It is very likely that it was created by the same Puppet-type ability user."
"That is to say, the people of this knight order have long been exposed to individual soldiers."
Having said this, he paused slightly, looked at Chen Jing, and said, "Do you know why?"
"..."
Chen Jing After listening to these words, I thought about it carefully.
When Lu Xin informed her that a mentally modified person had appeared, she had already suspected this person's purpose.
However, he first solved the Satellite City No. 2 contamination incident and then went to the operating table before he had time to analyze all the data.
So, in response to Professor Bai's inquiry, she could only shake her head slowly. "I have no clue."
"You will know after reading this document."
Professor Bai pushed the old document on the table in front of Chen Jing.
When Chen Jing lowered his head to read the contents of the file, Professor Bai said softly, "Due to the previous turmoil and the incomplete procedures of the Guard Department, we did not have clear records of many things. However, fortunately, we started investigating the Crimson Moon Orphanage explosion very early. During this time, we have not found a clearer clue to explain this mysterious explosion."
"However, we discovered some other things..."
"..."
Chen Jing had been looking at the document carefully, his eyes gradually became a little surprised, and suddenly he looked up at Professor Bai.
"You suspect he is..."
"..."
"Twenty years ago, when Eclipse Research Institute was officially established, there were differences."
Professor Bai said calmly, "Those differences caused Director, a laboratory in Research Institute, to leave with some important information and experimental products. Eclipse Research Institute has been looking for him for many years since then. Many people know about this."
"The code name is the escaped laboratory."
"..."
As he spoke slowly, he straightened up and said, "There is reason to suspect that this is also one of the purposes of the Knights!"
More updates are added, the monthly tickets are rising so fast, I will die from having to add more updates!
