Case File Compendium - Chapter 238

    Xie Qingcheng is a prisoner of Duan Wen’s special treatment.

    He was kept in a separate compartment, and although he was shackled on his hands and feet, he was not chained to the wall like the others, there was even a bed in the cabin, A desk and a chair.

    Xie Qingcheng was lying on the bed, his head still hurting.

    It’s been a while since he’s awake, and everything that’s happened before is spinning wildly in his head. The attack of Li Yun, He Yu, and the Dreambreaker, Chen Man, who was sent to the car… All these are connected together to draw an answer that is about to be revealed. The answer made him extremely sick, but he couldn’t escape it.

    After he was locked in, he was very desperate at first.

    He doesn’t know how He Yu is now.

    I don’t know the situation of other people or even the whole battle situation.

    Just as he was in despair, he suddenly realized that the Fengbo system on his wrist had not been removed.

    This is carefully modified by He Yu and will not be detected by electronic detectors. From the outside, it is a simple leather bracelet, and the kind that He Yu himself wears are completely different, so it was not found.

    Feng Bo is still there, and he can still contact other people.

    Xie Qingcheng took the attitude of giving it a try, and lay back on the bed, covering his hands in front of his eyes. In this way, to outsiders, he seems to be doing this because he is too desperate, but in fact, through this action, he sends instructions to the Fengbo system with the lightest voice and the most natural posture.

    He first tried to connect to He Yu, but failed, Feng Bo replied: “User He Yu has disappeared from the line”.

    This answer made Xie Qingcheng’s fingertips tremble slightly.

    In this combat connection system, the disappearance of the user means either the death of the battle or the destruction of the bracelet. Xie Qingcheng seems to have returned to the day of the naval battle in Guangzhou at this moment. The day without him…

    He didn’t know how much self-control it took to not let his emotions collapse.

    He gritted his teeth, and in a very light but trembling voice, said to Fengbo System: “I see. … Pick up the headquarters.”

    The line to the headquarters is open.

    “Xie Qingcheng? You are…” The commander-in-chief’s surprised voice came from the other end of the line.

    Xie Qing said: “You should have seen it through Fengbo’s camera, I’m in the dungeon.”

    His voice was tired, but he couldn’t stop for a moment.

    “I don’t have much time to communicate with you, and I don’t know if I will have the next opportunity to communicate with you. Now I ask what you answer, what I want to say, you try your best Don’t interrupt, okay.”

    Commander-in-chief: “…Okay. You say.”

    “Do you have He Yu’s whereabouts?”

    “He lost contact, we couldn’t reach him, we thought he was with you.”

    “He’s not by my side.” The last hope in his heart disappeared, Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes and tried to keep himself as calm as possible.

    His Adam’s apple rolled, and then asked: “So, what about Chen Yan.”

    The commander said: “He is back.”

    “Really…” Xie Qing said softly.

    Chen slow will be sent back, after Xie Qingcheng has a rough guess, it is not surprising. This answer just further confirmed his innermost thoughts.

    “Well. After you destroyed the Rapid Cold Light Device, the Fengbo system’s network suddenly broke. At that time, I knew something must have happened on your side, and immediately sent a group of people to you. We went in the direction of. As a result, halfway through the road, our support unit encountered a jeep.”

    “At first we thought it was an attacking vehicle, but no one opened fire.” The commander continued, “After the seizure, we found that the back seat was a confused Chen Yan… the driver It’s a mechanical warrior, ran away…”

    Hearing this, a strong sense of sadness came out of Xie Qingcheng’s chest. He knew that he might never have the opportunity to contact the headquarters again. At this moment, Xie Qingcheng did not any scruples.

    He said to the commander-in-chief: “That’s not a mechanical warrior at all.”

    The commander-in-chief still said to himself: “This matter is really strange, we once suspected that something was done to Chen Yan, but after checking all the equipment, we found that there was no, he was just being innocent I just sent it back. But why is he the only one? What happened to you later?”

    “…” Xie Qingcheng did not respond to the commander-in-chief. He took a deep breath and repeated: “Did you hear what I said just now? That’s not a mechanical warrior.”

    The commander-in-chief stopped, and there was a slight electric current in the bracelet.

    “…”

    “He Yu told you about it in the past three years.” Xie Qing said, “He has told you many times that many of these surreal weapons on the island are fake. , the projection of virtual reality, the stripes on the wings of the butterfly, the guise Mandela used to defend himself, to stall for time to develop a truly powerful weapon. None of you believed him.”

    “…”

    “Because he’s a lunatic, and because we’ve ever felt bad for him, no matter what he says, no one will believe him.”

    Xie Qing said in a low voice: “But I saw it. I saw everything he described, and he never lied to you. Mandela Island is a semi-illusory island, through the magnetic field , noise, vision… and all of these, to deceive your perception. The driver who sent Chen Gan back was just a modified person, that’s all.”

    “If you could have listened to him sooner, weapons like Rapid Cold Light would never have been invented. Now that Rapid Cold Light has been destroyed, there will be no such terrifying things on this island. , I would like to ask you to let all the next two and three troops land and end this war as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the greater the variable will be. “

    The commander-in-chief said: “…Xie Qingcheng, do you know what you are talking about? Now let the second and third troops land directly. If there are any more variables, then the whole army will be wiped out.”

    “If you log in now, you won’t have any problems.” Xie Qing said, “Can you let go of your inherent cognition and trust us this time?”

    “…”

    “He Yu may have fallen into Duan Wen’s hands now.” Xie Qingcheng took a breath and said, “You must have known that he is a blood worm. To be honest, I I’m very worried about him now, he’s acting as a double agent for you, Mandela couldn’t have been unaware, but they kept him, I don’t think it’s normal. Now it seems that the only reasonable explanation is that his Mandela doesn’t want to give up using high value.”

    The ceiling in the cell is low and oppressive.

    Xie Qingcheng stared at Tianding and said, “You have seen the power of blood Gu. I am worried that they will take him away after the rapid cold light is destroyed, because only he can Replace it and become a new killing tool… You told me before that they were testing a blood poison diffusion device, and it is likely to be that thing.”

    “But they haven’t done anything yet—”

    “They haven’t moved yet, that just means they haven’t succeeded for some reason, but it won’t take too long.” Xie Qingcheng said at the end, his hands clenched into fists Flesh and blood, “It won’t take too long, do you understand? You didn’t believe in He Yu three years ago, so there was a rapid cold light, can you believe me again three years later? Don’t let new weapons appear. Don’t Let He Yu stand opposite us and don’t let him be hurt again. Don’t let your people sacrifice more.”

    The voice trembled like a candle.

    “Even this time, okay? Officer.”

    The commander is on the opposite side and has not answered for a long time.

    Xie Qingcheng couldn’t see his face, in fact he couldn’t see anything except the dark ceiling in front of him.

    His heart was beating violently in his chest, and his thirty-four years of rushing blood gave him the courage to say all these words to a man of the same profession as his parents came out.

    Almost for help.

    Xie Qingcheng muttered: “Even if it’s just this time…”

    The sound of footsteps came from the end of the Fengbo system. The commander seemed to have gone to a quieter environment, and there was no one else around.

    Then Xie Qingcheng heard him say: “Xie Qingcheng… Actually, it’s not that I didn’t believe it.”

    “!”

      You can’t believe it at all.”

    “Then you—”

    “But I’m just a man with orders to win. Above me there are tops, and there are tops above me… Every decision I make is considered by my colleagues and superiors, Do you think my upper class will believe a patient’s words when they are sitting in the office watching the battle images, and believe it is fake? Even if they believe it, they will admit that it is because they can’t see the emperor’s new clothes Was the decision wrong?”

    Xie Qingcheng suddenly felt a bucket of ice poured into his stomach: “You…”

    The chill spread from the bone: “You actually believed it, so He Yu once said that you were the only one who tried to investigate…”

    “Yes. I have even tried to convince the people around me, the people above and the people below.” The commander said, “What’s the use. You think you are fine, I Also, can we change people’s inherent thinking? Can I change a piece of military order and the hearts of 100,000 soldiers? In the eyes of many people, I’m just a tool that can be replaced at any time!”

    “…”

    “I understand your feelings, Xie Qingcheng, I don’t want anyone to be the cannon fodder in this battle, but when the cannon fire falls, there will be catastrophe. If it is me In He Yu’s position, I will make the same decision and turn myself into ashes.”

    Xie Qingcheng was still dizzy after a while: “…Is there no other way? It must be like this, according to the rules and orders…It must be like this…Wait for Man Della is ready to fight and shed more blood…?! Isn’t human life more important than the correct decision of an official…”

    The commander was speechless.

    Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes: “Is there really nothing I can do…”

    “Don’t think about it, some things can’t be changed even if you know the ending. Other ways will only be harder than this-“

    The commander’s words said this, but Xie Qingcheng felt like a light suddenly fell in his heart.

    He suddenly realized something: “Another way? What do you mean?”

    “…”

    “So there is a way, right?!”

    The commander didn’t hold any hope for this at all, and only sighed: “Alas! … It’s pointless for me to tell you this, it’s just an assumption, there’s no way anyone can be in Huihui. Jane met her directly without defense.”

    “Why do you want to see her directly?” Xie Qingcheng said in a low voice, “Although this organization was established by her, the island is almost entirely populated by a group of lunatics who have lost humanity, and most of them are among them. If there is no such thing as loyalty and unity, what’s the use of catching a thief and a king? Could it be—”

     Halfway through he said, he suddenly stopped.

    A chill came up from the bottom of his feet.

    “—she’s not just the head of state, but a core key that they must not lose for some reason, right?”

    The commander-in-chief did not answer, but Xie Qingcheng was in the torrent of information and suddenly caught the key. He thought that He Yu had told him that the commander-in-chief seemed to be looking into something about Duan Cuizhen. After a long silence, he opened his mouth: “Did you… Are you going to follow the information Heyu gave you and have been investigating? You believed what he said and believed that there is indeed this master valve on the island that controls all energy. ?”

    “…Yes.” The commander said, “At this point, you and I don’t have any information to hide.”

    “I have been sending people to collect information from the dark. Just a few days ago, I received the most precious and important piece of information I have so far – Huizhen is the The ‘maternal body’ of Mandela Island, as you said, the people she convened under the seat are a group of lunatics who have no concept of loyalty and filial piety or even the concept of human nature. , and let them use her heartily for her use?”

    “So she thought of a way.” The commander said, “She probably implanted a most important chip in her brain. That chip is associated with the core energy on the island. Station, it’s all about whether her brainwaves are still active. It’s the only valve on and off.”

    “In other words, as long as her brain is still alive, the island’s hydropower, wind and heat… All the equipment that researchers cherish very much, and that condense their lifelong efforts, will be able to operate normally. Mann Everything on Deira, its master valve, not a power station, not a water station, not a machine of any kind—but her own life!”

    The commander-in-chief paused and continued:

    “Huizhen probably completed such a hook before forming this team. She passed some ingenious and crazy design, so that her brain activity was completely related to this world outside. The islands are tightly glued together, transforming the physical master valve that controls everything into biological ones. The island is not big, and it is still a controllable area, so it took her decades to finally achieve this step, as long as she Alive, everything on the island is protected, and once she’s brain-dead…”

      All lights are extinguished, all machinery is no longer functioning, and all scientific research results are destroyed in an instant.”

    “Yes, they were born because of her, they regarded her as their mother, and they died for her. She will not allow her Mandela world to fall into anyone’s hands.” The commander said, “According to my information, as long as she dies, the island will have an energy backlash within ten minutes of the island’s power outage, all the heat energy will be concentrated at the core of the power supply station, and then – the whole island will explode and disappear into smoke. .”

    Commander finished.

    The last few words drop a final sound, and then there is a long silence.

    “Is that why Duan Wen has always been there, and Huizhen is hardly at home?” Xie Qingcheng whispered, “Because it’s not only herself, but all the people on the island. People fear her death. They will defend her life with all they can.”

    “You’re right.”

    Xie Qingcheng: “She made herself and the island one…”

    Commander: “She made herself one with the island.”

    In this way, the enemy will be very careful, and there will be no loopholes that can directly attack Duan Cuizhen.

    “So I said, this method is useless.” The commander sighed, “We can only force, I’m sorry, but…”

    But at this moment, Xie Qingcheng suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside!

    “Someone’s coming!”

    And as soon as he was done, the door to the dungeon opened.

    A tall man in a black trench coat stepped in from behind the door. He put his hand in the pocket of the windbreaker, raised his head, his facial features were as cold and steep as Cui Wei’s snow mountain, his eyebrows were very deep, the bridge of his nose was high, and his whole body showed a kind of slow and calm.

     Duan Wen, who ended his scrutiny of He Yu, appeared in this cell.

    “You seem to have just ended a conversation with someone.” Behind Duan Wen followed two bodyguards, all of whom were his loyal confidants.

    He motioned for the bodyguard to bring him a chair, straighten his clothes, and sit down in front of Xie Qingcheng.

    The cell was dimly lit, he raised his eyes, looked at every detail of the emotions on Xie Qingcheng’s face, and said with a smile: “I dare to ask who Professor Xie is with in this dungeon. chat.”

    “…”

    “Li Yun didn’t find the Fengbo system from you, but I don’t think so.”

    Duan Wen was very polite, but there was an oppressive force in that politeness: “Take it out.”

    He paused, then added: “I admire you very much, I hope you don’t force me to be rough with you.”

    Xie Qingcheng did not move.

    Duan Wen raised his eyebrows, waited, and stared at him.

      heart.

    He didn’t hand over Feng Bo, but suddenly said:

    “I used to admire you, Duan Wen.”

    “…What do you mean.” Duan Wen smiled.

    Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes, and when he said the next sentence, there was almost no ups and downs in his chest.

    “Or, should I call you directly, Chen Lisheng?”
