latent syndrome.

Chapter 230 229. Assassination
On the other side of Liberty City, Colin declined the invitation from the first division, saying that he had been assigned a new liaison officer who was also a new partner.

Things went quite smoothly. To Colin's surprise, Irina was already a member of Section [-]. After telling everything, about Pim, Opal, and the High Command of the Countermeasures Bureau, Irina Linna chose to trust without hesitation.

Anyone can be questioned about motives, but this man alone cannot be questioned, whether it is the people he has killed or the predicament he faces.

No one wanted it all to end more than he did.

Under the pressure of Colin and the promotion of Irina, his ex-wife has been transferred from the second department.

But somehow.

But Colin felt a little fear, he didn't dare to face the woman directly.

What broke this marriage was not the contradictions, quarrels, and hysteria, but the strange illness, and the fact that Colin abandoned her in an extremely vicious, cruel, and indifferent way when she was most helpless, confused and painful.

I heard from Irina that she was transferred to a very safe sanatorium. Although she still belongs to the second department, the medical staff there are different from the madmen in the second department. They are just ordinary nurses, and there is no essential difference from a resort , under the sole responsibility of Irina.

Colin originally planned to visit, but after Irina warned, this approach was also dismissed.

"why?"

"In that case, what's the point of me doing all this?"

Colin's expression was a little stagnant, although he said so, he was actually slightly relieved, and even he himself was angered by this mood.

He was so eager, Irina had a very legitimate reason, but he didn't have the guts to face that woman.

In the same cafe as before, the two former members of Section [-] looked extremely gloomy.

"You understand that there are two ways to slow down the sinking speed of the submerged patients."

"One is to make a keepsake, but it is better to say that it deepens the connection with the symbolic world, like the anchor of a sailing ship, so as to stabilize it."

"The other is... to kill as many infected people as possible. The faster the submerged disease spreads, the faster the infected people will deteriorate."

"Many people have such doubts, why the submerged disease is spreading faster, and the incidents of out-of-control people killing people are becoming less and less."

"It's because the base number of infected people has reached a relatively serious level. Unlike before, people who are not mentally strong enough usually take three to a week to die after being infected. At this time The incubation period is the scariest thing, they will do crazy things before they die."

"But now there is no need to consider this kind of problem. As the base number increases, the incubation period becomes shorter and shorter. A large part of the newly infected people have been recoiled to death by the abyss before they have time to go crazy."

Irina made such a judgment. After the video footage shot by Di Yu was widely circulated, the submerged disease spread more severely, but on the contrary, the threat decreased to some extent, and the dead would not continue to affect other people. But before the transmission path is fully understood, it is not possible to speculate.

"But your wife's condition..."

"It has deteriorated to a more serious level. Because there is no professional means, she has been fighting alone all the time."

"It was reversed under the extreme treatment of the second department, but also because there was no so-called... um... 'drug resistance.'"

Irina explained it in more common terms, making it easier for Colin to understand.

"But now it's not what the first two methods can solve."

"I call it dormancy therapy. Let her temporarily forget herself and enter another journey. This therapy is still in the experiment, but your wife can't wait for it to be perfected. It must be activated immediately."

"So, you can't go to the past and do some stimulation, that will speed up her death."

"as far as I know."

Irina suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, hesitating whether to tell Colin.

"what?"

Colin asked.

"It's not that she said it herself, I just felt it from some words."

"She hates you very much."

"Very……"

After some words.

There was a long silence.

Colin fell silent.

……

……

……

An hour later.

Colin walks aimlessly and distraughtly in the poor streets of Brooklyn.

About Los Angeles.

It has dealt a huge blow to the economy of the west coast, and with such huge fluctuations, it also naturally affects the east coast.

He remembered that the neighborhood, although it had changed a lot, had lived here for a long time, hanging out with some school dropouts, most of them in jail.

Many things in the impression have gradually disappeared, replaced by countless domestic garbage that no one has cleaned up and discarded everywhere, too many half-paralyzed drug addicts wandering around, and tents set up by homeless people.

The biggest phenomenon of social deformity is that due to structural problems, more jobs cannot be provided, and only virtual jobs in the sales network are added, which gradually drags everything down until everyone is unemployed.

A group of vagrants kept warm by roasting garbage in an iron bucket. When they saw Colin approaching, their eyes lit up because he was wearing good things, but after looking at his face carefully, they gave up the idea of ​​plundering.

In this cold winter, Ke Lin couldn't help but gathered his clothes. The ringworm on his arm became colder and spread a few more inches. His condition was also deteriorating.

"Do you know what the truth of the matter is?"

"No one cares whether your wife lives or dies."

"She's nobody."

"You have more important things to do."

"After so many days, Pim has been frozen into a mummified body, and is about to starve to death."

"And you are still revisiting the old place, taking a walk like a primary school student's spring outing."

"You have more important things to do."

Opal's sarcomas breathed in Colin.

Ke Lin got angry, pressed his finger on the tumor, squeezed it hard, blood was oozing frequently, and he could feel his pain from Opal's breath-clogged gasping.

But Opal is still struggling to pronounce words.

"Actually you don't care."

"You have long since lost any affection for that woman."

"It's just your false sense of responsibility at work."

"Just trying to make yourself feel better."

"You are so hypocritical Colin, so hypocritical that it makes people laugh."

Opal sarcastically mercilessly, because Colin has no right to refuse at all, everything is as stated in the book, he will face the most terrifying abyss in the universe.

Just now.

What the two of them didn't know was.

McConaughey's ability far exceeds everyone's imagination. Under the hint of horror, anyone can be a puppet, and the official system and monitoring network can also be infiltrated.

Around the corner behind them, an unexpected guest has arrived.

White is wearing an unremarkable down jacket and is following Colin. People often say that Liberty City is a good place, but White disagrees.

He was going to kill the man and return to the warm Mediterranean climate.
