Apocalyptic Forecast - Chapter 1423

In the darkness of London, the ambulance was moving forward in the street, and the bustling lights were shining like stars.

But no one spoke in the car.

It’s not an awkward silence, it’s more like an unspoken calm.

It was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

It seemed that there was a brief moment of trance.

In the passing lights outside the window, she closed her eyes, but soon, she opened them alertly, only to find that the sound of the radio in the car was turned down at some point.

The scenery outside the window was also completely different from before.

She fell asleep.

“How long do I sleep?” She propped herself up.

“Five minutes, less than.”

Huai Shi glanced at her and couldn’t help laughing: “The drool is flowing out.”

Ai Qing looked at him without any movement, nor did she wipe the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, she just looked at him until Huai Shi shrugged awkwardly.

“Okay, I’m joking.”

He corrected: “Actually, you only slept for three minutes.”

“…”

Ai Qing withdrew her gaze and ignored him.

Just couldn’t help but want to sigh.

When did this stubborn and stubborn look start?

Rarely, she actually started to miss the past – the time when she could use tools and do whatever she wanted with a little money, at least he would show more respect to his boss.

Even if you get your salary, you have to say something about the boss’s grandeur.

“It’s getting more and more annoying, Huai Shi.”

she murmured softly.

“Um?”

Huai Shi, who was driving, looked over at a loss.

“The sublimator’s hearing isn’t that bad, right?” Ai Qing glanced at him and pretended not to hear, propped her chin, and looked out the window: “Drive well.”

“Um.”

Huai Shi nodded and glanced at the navigation one last time: “It’s almost there.”

On the right side of Long Street, on the edge of London.

That is a…

“Hospital?”

Huai Shi was dumbfounded and glanced at the roof of the ambulance.

Now, he finally knew why Ai Qing was looking for an ambulance. Co-authoring is the original soup, right?

“But it seems to be closed.”

Through the flickering wiper blades, Huai Shi could see the faint fences emerging in the thin rain, and the kind of alert that was not at all in a normal hospital: “There’s not even an emergency room, this place doesn’t look good… How do I get in?”

“Just hit it in.”

Ai Qing said, “The knock on the door is louder, so that the ‘master’ will wake up and stop pretending to be asleep.”

“OK.”

Huai Shi smiled: “I like this so much.”

The accelerator is stepped on, the steering wheel is straightened.

The warning lights were turned on again, and in the high-pitched chirping sound, the ambulance shone brightly, galloping in the thin rain, setting off layers of rain curtains and breaking through the insignificant mist.

Straight, it broke through the barrier in front of the gate, the loud noise broke the silence of the night, jumped into the courtyard, and flicked its tail skillfully among the dodging security guards, elegantly, and slid forward with a 720-degree rotation. .

Finally, they stopped in front of the building.

The co-pilot’s door opened, facing the door in front of him, and the dimly lit hall behind the door.

The belated siren is only now sounding.

“what’s next?”

Huai Shi stretched out her hand and helped Ai Qing down from the co-pilot.

“I’ll have to wait a while.” Ai Qing glanced at the building in front of her and said, “I need some time.”

“it is good.”

Huai Shi yawned and glanced at the surrounding situation: “Speaking of which, what do you want for dinner? Is it too late to make a reservation by calling now?”

“…At will.”

“That’s fine.”

Huai Shi happily swiped the messages on her phone: “I found a nice looking shop on the way here. The sign is cuttlefish angel noodles. It smells good and is open all night.”

Ai Qing instinctively wanted to roll her eyes.

Are you a dog?

I can never get used to this guy’s brain circuit.

She shook her head, supported her crutches, and walked into the elevator at the end of the hall.

Huai Shi took a newspaper from the bookshelf, sat in the hall with her legs crossed, unfolded it, and hummed the melodies that had already been carved into her instincts.

Under the dim and lonely light, the shadow behind him spread silently and swayed, as if pouring into the darkness against the current, covering everything.

In the darkness, the scarlet pupils opened, like distant and dazzling blood-colored stars.

Staring indifferently at all those who approached.

Silent warning.

.

.

When the door opened, the breath of rain from the outside poured into the room along with the visitors. From the monotonous ticking of life-sustaining equipment, the lights were dim.

On the hospital bed, behind the oxygen mask, there was a hoarse breathing sound.

Layers of cables are entangled on that shriveled and mutilated body, maintaining his or her life… It is difficult to distinguish the original characteristics, and I don’t know what he has experienced.

There is no hair left, and the exposed mutilated limbs are covered with traces of burns and surgeries. Under the cover of the thin quilt, a shockingly thin outline and traces of undulating cables emerged.

Only when the turbid pupils are raised can people notice that he may still have some consciousness.

Looking at the visitor.

On the left hand, the three broken fingers flicked slightly beside the bed.

“You’re late, Ai Qing.”

An unwavering electronic voice sounded, as if joking: “Do you like my gift?”

“Tank truck? It’s tasteless.”

Ai Qing shook her head coldly, dragged a chair, and sat across from him: “If you want to say, you don’t seem to have any other ideas other than explosions, ‘senior’.

It’s even more surprising than your identity. ”

Undisguised, his own mockery.

For the ‘help’ provided by the other party in the past, there is no gratitude at all.

Even though it was the first time they met, in secret, the two sides had had no idea how many times they had interacted—as investigators who also belonged to the ‘Pioneer Society’, they had a ‘friendly exchange’.

Code [;Sheep].

The scapegoat, the black sheep… very vividly describes the other party’s behavior: never revealing himself in the sun, hiding himself behind the scenes, and commanding the puppet to act remotely. Concentrating on the dirty work in the sewage ditch, doing cruel work that is unacceptable to ordinary people.

At the same time, he was the one who secretly pushed the order of the decision-making room and instructed Schweiger to investigate Huai Shi.

As retaliation, Ai Qing ruthlessly wiped out the opponent’s subordinates in Seoul and everything secretly arranged, smashing the plan he had prepared for two years to pieces.

A thorn in the eye, a stumbling block.

In a nutshell, the two sides have such a simple and straightforward relationship.

But before that, Ai Qing never imagined that the other party would take the initiative to reveal her location and her true appearance to her, and deliberately left clues in the attack of the oil tanker so that she could come to her door.

In a sense, Ai Qing should be thankful for the reminder from the other party. If it wasn’t for the tanker attack, she wouldn’t even know that she had been targeted by so many people.

Fall into the net without knowing it.

It wasn’t until that moment that she realized that she had fallen into a certain plan and conspiracy since she was dismissed, no, since she decided to continue the investigation.

Falling into a trap without knowing it!

Although she didn’t know why the other party chose to ‘help out’, she had no choice.

We must seize this in-depth opportunity.

“Don’t waste any more time, tell me, what exactly is the Authority doing?”

Ai Qing asked bluntly, “What is the decision-making room doing?”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha—”

With the flick of the scapegoat’s left hand, the electronic voice made a mocking laughter without hesitation: “You should ask, what is the ‘Pioneer’ going to do.”

“Didn’t you find out yet?”

The electronic voice said: “Are all the people involved in the investigation tools from other pilot committees? Who else has the ability to make such a big noise in London except for the pilot committee?

Don’t you know, is this a fight within the Pilot Society? ”

At that moment, Ai Qing was silent.

But in the memory, the words on the screen of the pilot meeting suddenly appeared.

It said: [We are considering you… Thirty-one investigators, twenty-seven missions… Six people gave up, two failed… Eleven people are missing, active or passive, whereabouts unknown. 】

It said: [We will watch you. 】

“…”

Ai Qing’s eyes gradually became cold, instinctively, she wanted to deny the conjecture that emerged in her heart, but she couldn’t refute: “You want to say that the leader will let us kill each other?”

“Why not?”

The scapegoat asked back: “Isn’t the so-called tool used to do this? Dirty work, tiring work, unsightly work, and in the end, it loses its value and becomes garbage.

Or before it becomes garbage, it will be abandoned. ”

“Welcome to the dark side of the pilot meeting, Ai Qing.”

The electronic voice of the scapegoat was so playful, as if mocking laughter.

He says,

“—Welcome to the [Regeneration Project]!”

“I can not understand.”

Ai Qing retorted: “Even as a tool, investigators are still the most expensive kind. The pilots are cold-blooded, but what’s the value of doing this? And why?”

“Of course it’s for greater value.”

The scapegoat replied, “Is it enough for the sake of the ruling bureau and the entire present situation?”

Ai Qing was silent.

“Now, you should also be aware of the situation of the Bureau? The situation of the entire current situation – you think, under this situation, the Bureau can still maintain the old appearance, and retain the arrogance of the past, unchanged. Is it?”

The scapegoat said: “To this day, in the face of the pressure of the battle of the worlds… The time has come for the ruling bureau to have to change.”

Even if it is rigid and old-fashioned like the governing bureau, there are times when it changes, and even there have been many changes, reorganizations, and replacements in history.

The purpose of being rigid and conservative is to ensure the stability of the order, but in the same way, when the order must change, the governing bureau will never hesitate.

It can be said that it is in line with the times, or it is for development, to integrate internal factions or to reconcile internal conflicts.

With the slow efficiency of the central decision-making room, which is still perfect in peaceful times, it has gradually been unable to cope with the continuous changes and situations.

But how should it change?

With so many voices and demands, which side should one listen to? With so many directions and decisions, which side should you take?

It’s not just the increasingly serious contradiction between the frontier faction and the sovereign faction, the relationship between the Astronomical Society and the five permanent members, the measurement between the sublime and ordinary people, the rules of the border operation…

Central decision-making room? Local branches? Energy Association? Financial center? Security Bureau? Abyss Development Bureau? Rail Transit? Alchemy Management Office? Drug Review Center? Property Department? logistics department? The current defense headquarters?

Where is more important? Asia? Europe? America? Africa? Australia?

Which country and region are more preferred?

Rome? Dongxia? America or Russia?

Which side are you focusing on? Which side do you lean towards? Negative which side?

Who decides?

Who is qualified to decide?

There is only one place, an existence with the entire Sea of ​​Silver as its support and the consciousness of all mankind as its core… an institution that can truly re-evaluate everything from the overall situation.

Pilot meeting!

“The Pioneer will always be right, the Pioneer will never lie, and the Pioneer will make choices for all mankind, right?” the scapegoat asked, “But where does this almost blind trust come from?”

It’s just nonsense.

Because what the Pioneer Society does is what all mankind expects, it is always right. Because what the Pioneers say is what all human beings want to say, never lie.

Likewise, the Pioneers will make choices for humans.

After humans make choices—

When the contradictions in the sea of ​​silver reach the threshold, when the structure of the governing bureau cannot adapt to the new era, the instinctual cries and shouts from countless souls in the sea of ​​silver will awaken a personality shard in the pilot society and activate the established program, again weighing everything.

This is the key to preventing order from becoming a shackle, law becoming a shackle, and preventing the Administration from rotting and deteriorating from day-to-day rigidity and stupor.

Rooted in the lowest order and insurance agency from the very beginning.

“The relevant preparations have already started, Ai Qing.”

A strange smile appeared on the burned face of the scapegoat: “Even before today, even earlier than you think…”

The Pioneer must make a decision.

To this end, all will be looked at and the value of all parties will be measured.

But words are better than actions, so how can arguments be proved?

For the Pilot Society, all words are empty, no matter how wonderful the preaching and narration are, it is no different from dreaming. It is concerned with human desires and the desire of the sea of ​​silver.

When the subject becomes the collection of all human beings, the ambition of the individual and the voice of the group are also insignificant. The pressure that falls on everyone is a mountain, and the decision to decide the rise and fall of a faction in the next hundred years is just a speck of dust in its hands.

Because of this, it must be properly and solemnly measured.

Even if you mobilize all your strength.

To this end, they did not hesitate to drop the sea of ​​silver, demarcate the whole of London, and send representatives from all parties to fight against each other. Based on the whole of the governing bureau, they mobilized the souls of all human beings to form an unprecedented huge structure and carry out chaos. Operation!

The whole of London today has actually become an airtight ceremonial and reactor.

A sandbox.

“This is a ceremony, and we are all sacrifices.”

“This is an operation, and we are all the data we need.”

“We represent not just ourselves, but everything behind us…our race, gender, position and assertion.”

“We are the sparks in the collision of thoughts, the struggles in the consideration and decision, and also the parameters and sources required for the given result…”

The so-called calculation process is a ten-day civil war.

Use the investigator’s life to make a statement, determine the order based on the outcome of the investigators, and bind the agency represented by the investigator to the trend of thought in the sea of ​​silver to determine the subsequent decades, or even centuries, of the governing bureau. Unify internal and external policies, decision-making tendencies, and even amend laws and regulations!

Innovate everything and recast order!

——This is the [Regeneration Project]!

In the dead silence, on the sky outside the window, a thunderstorm swept across, and in the flash of electric light, a torrential rain poured down.

In the ward, there was silence.

Only Ai Qing supported her crutches and stared silently at the ‘scapegoat’ in front of her. Her face was expressionless. She tapped her fingers on the cane, as if in deep thought.

After a long time, when her pupils were raised again, there was no more confusion and confusion.

“Looks like you’ve figured it out,” said the scapegoat.

“No, I didn’t want to understand. There are many things that I don’t understand.”

Ai Qing asked in a cold voice, “Since the plan is to sacrifice investigators, it must be ensured that investigators do not deliberately resist or destroy.

In other words, all participants must be voluntary.

Then, why do you want me to be involved? ”

“Aren’t you willing?”

Under the scapegoat’s oxygen mask, there was a hoarse gasp, as if he was laughing, his fingers flicked: “Who made you not know how to give up, Ai Qing?

You checked too fast, went too deep, disturbed the balance, and even touched the existence of the regeneration plan… But you don’t want to stop, don’t you?

Even the leader will hint again and again.

You are such a person. Once you catch a clue, you won’t let go, and when you see a problem, you won’t be silent. Even if the leader will deliberately stop you, you won’t let it go, right?

If you leave it alone, sooner or later, you will interfere with the operation of the regeneration plan – you will become a variable, no, you will become a variable voluntarily. ”

The scapegoat asked curiously: “So, since you are so eager to come here, why are you resisting this mission?”

Ai Qing did not speak.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

Covering her face, she couldn’t hold back her self-deprecating smile.

What is this?

Pretending to be smart? Self-inflicted? Ask yourself for trouble?

Or, are you looking for a dead end?

In the silence, she once again recalled the question from the Pilot Society in the former underground space.

[Ai Qing, can you accept failure? 】

“cannot.”

[Ai Qing, everything you do is for yourself? 】

“certainly.”

At that time, she thought she could accept unknown changes and risks, so she accepted this task. But I never thought that the identity of a candidate would be decided at that moment!

Originally, she thought she was ready.

But now, she felt a sudden regret.

I knew this earlier.

No, even if he didn’t know it, he had already implemented the wrong strategy subconsciously, making the most fatal mistake, an unforgivable mistake.

The self at that time…

Why did you make that call?

So, shameless—

She subconsciously clenched the umbrella that served as a crutch.

On the back of the hand, blue veins burst out.

An angry paleness appeared on her knuckles~www.mtlnovel.com~ But soon, the anger that was insignificant compared to reality disappeared from her pupils, she let out a irritable breath, and again, recovered. calm.

“Go on,” she said.

“In a short while, when the early morning bell rings, it will enter the third day of the plan.”

The scapegoat opened his mouth and informed him casually: “As a later replacement, there is not much time left for you, Ai Qing. If you want to make a difference, you must…

“Take a union, right?”

Ai Qing interrupted him, staring straight at the mutilated face covered with an oxygen mask, “So, I need to form an alliance with you.

I need an ally because I started too late compared to the others.

You also need an ally, because of your own physical limitations—”

Under the oxygen mask, the scapegoat’s expression twitched, like laughing, fingers flicked, and the electronic voice continued: “You are a smart person, I know.”

“But you are not.”

Ai Qing sighed regretfully, her expression returned to her usual indifference, and she entered the working state again.

She said, “Because you lied to me.”
