latent syndrome

Chapter 23
Five days have passed since I left the No.11 Section headquarters.

Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, Gold Coast.

It was noon, cloudless, clear sky.

The sea breeze is slightly salty, and the crowing of seagulls is heard from time to time. The townhouses under the cover of palm trees and a refreshing cafe.

"I hate animal protection organizations, they are useless crap."

"why?"

"My wife bought a crocodile leather bag for 8000 yuan."

"Haha, you don't hate animal protection organizations, you just hate your wife."

"Whatever you say, I'm off to poaching too, skinning crocodiles and mink and selling them to women."

"It's fine if your clothes are just animal fur, but worse if it's cheap polyester."

"How do you say brother?"

“All you need for fur products are animal carcasses, while the T-shirts you scoop up at a big sale need Southeast Asian child laborers who died suddenly in sweatshops before they were ten years old.”

There was cheerful conversation at the next table.

Colin was eating a vegetable salad and a cheese sandwich. Cafes in Los Angeles usually not only have drinks, but also provide some simple cooked food.

The two of Eugene had lunch here, and unlike Colin, she only wanted French fries and hot dogs.

In the past few days, the task of the two is still to patrol the area south of Los Angeles, waiting for the results of the Countermeasure Bureau's rating.

Colin and Eugene continued to operate as a two-person team, code-named "Blood Eagle".

During this period of time, the two dealt with many corpses of patients with submerged disease. Some of them were covered with mineral crystals, and even the rooms around the corpses were polluted together. Disgusting fungal putrefaction, disgusting.

Most people who suffer from abyssalism will die. Just like Irina’s metaphor, a character in a movie will go against the speed of light when returning to film, and those infected with abyssalism will have to face endless madness and Chaos, most of them will not be able to bear the mental shock and die.

Only a very small number of people can survive.

"What SCT wants to shake is the entire symbolic world, which means they don't just rely on violence."

Colin took a bite of the sandwich, his eyes were erratic, and he continued to add: "It may also be through the religious media and other information media to infiltrate the society in all aspects, so it is said that it will attach so much importance to the actions in Los Angeles, and sent a full two top cadre."

Picking up a French fries and sucking it into his mouth slowly, Eugene thought that what Colin said made sense, and replied: "After all, the world's most advanced film industry base is here, whether it is to export ideology or some This concept is the only choice here.”

While the two were talking, the headquarters of Section [-] sent a message to them, which was the rating report of the last dive depth test.

This report will also determine what level of mission the pair will perform.

Colin couldn't believe the content of the message, and his eyelids twitched wildly.

"What's your rating?"

Colin observed Eugene's expression very intently, worried that she was lying.

"Uh... the evaluation grade is C, and the overall potential is B. How about you?"

Eugene didn't care about this kind of testing at all. Instead, the lower the level, the better. Otherwise, if he let himself perform ultra-high-risk tasks, wouldn't he die in a few days?

Ke Lin was a little speechless, and directly threw his satellite communication terminal to Eugene.

Eugene looked at the message on the terminal, and there was a black line on his forehead.

The above shows that Ke Lin's evaluation grade is D, and his comprehensive potential is unknown.

In terms of the rigor of the countermeasures, there will be no misjudgments. This unknown is indeed intriguing.

"The judgment level refers to the current strength, and the overall potential refers to the room for growth. Regardless of the latter, Uncle Ke Lin... your current level is about the same as that of a miscellaneous soldier."

Eugene read the rating report again, and Colin was indeed a D-level infected person.

"Fuck, the minion-level character is myself."

Colin is a little upset. He has been training seriously these days, and he thinks his abilities have improved a lot. Now he can not only change his body, but also inject the power drawn from different spaces into his muscles and tendons. In the veins, thereby strengthening the body, bursting out with terrifying physical energy.

In that state, whether it is strength, speed, or explosive power, he is no match for a creature, and he is simply a monster among monsters.

"What kind of tasks do you think Section [-] will send us next?"

Eugene asked Colin.

"Look for the lost kitten or dog, or if there is a pothole on the concrete road, or where the water pipe is leaking, let's go and maintain it, I guess. After all, I am just a miscellaneous soldier."

Colin was joking.

With the issuance of the rating report, the two also received new instructions.

This is not an order directly issued by Gray, but the most efficient order given by the countermeasure bureau experts based on the agent's level after studying the situation.

When Colin saw the task information prompted on the terminal, he only felt that it was outrageous and outrageous to do lung care, so fucking outrageous that he suffocated.

Eugene also frowned, feeling a little unreliable.

"No way, we want us to pretend to be film investors and search for SCT members who are involved in the film industry."

Eugene looked at the mission information and said that there was intelligence showing that people from SCT would enter the film industry through a puppet company and gradually change the values ​​​​of the citizens of the Liberty Alliance.

The task of Colin and Eugene is to pretend to be film investors, visit and investigate some directors and screenwriters in the name of investment, and wander around in some studios to find the puppet company controlled by SCT.

This is obviously a good job.

Because this mission also gave one person 20 yuan in action funds, and asked the two to get an outfit that could fit on the table, and they couldn't wear a leather jacket with rivets or a brown woolen coat that was found on the street.

As for how to pretend to be a film investor, there is no need to worry, because the countermeasure bureau has already beaten an industry crocodile and asked this industry crocodile to provide convenience for the two of them.

"When I was young... I always wanted to be a movie star." Eugene showed a playful smile, "I didn't expect the promotion to be too fast. Now, can I subconsciously rule some young male stars who have just debuted?"

Colin cast a disdainful look, seeing that Eugene was indeed thinking about something inappropriate for children, a faint flush appeared on his face.

After eating the food on the plate in a few mouthfuls, Colin wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go, get dressed."

In all the time regression, Colin has long realized one thing, even a slight delay in time will cause a fundamentally different ending due to the butterfly effect.

"There is no need to hurry. Even if SCT really wants to make a movie to brainwash the public, the filming cycle and various post-production work of a movie cannot be done in a short time."

Eugene was slowly sipping the straw of his latte, and Colin was a little strange these days. Could it be the contact with Debrow or Cohen's death that was affecting him?

"If only it were that simple. With their style, they might fool the publisher with the whole video, and then temporarily switch the tape during the screening, so as to play some panic-causing content around the world, such as Said... a person infected with abyssal disease."

Colin said seriously.

"Damn, that does sound like the SCT thing."

Eugene finished his coffee in a few sips.

If things like what Colin said really happened, the symbolic world would be affected, and the abyssal disease would spread more rapidly, turning the whole world into a purgatory.

"Come on, Savior."

Eugene teased Colin in this way.
