Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 832 Challenge the Boss!
Facing his daughter who was about to be "abducted", the old father Gustav was extremely anxious, but facing Song Lan's doubts, he couldn't give strong evidence for a while.

All the investigation work in the early stage was done by Qi He. For many years, they believed in Qi He deeply, and never considered another possibility—for example, Qi He lied.

In order to deal with his political opponents and the company system, he needs some trustworthy people. Monica is the child he is optimistic about. In the organization, there are many children like her.

Whether true or false, Monica's father told a "complete" story.

Before Gustave can explain everything to Monica, however, an unexpected phone call interrupts all his plans.

Qi He, who disappeared all night, called him. His voice on the phone was blunt and indifferent. He announced that the plan for the fourth district had failed, and ordered him to abandon Monica and return to the organization immediately. Asked, he declined to give any substantive explanation.

Qi He's sudden change made Gustav have to suspect another possibility.

Monica's father was killed in a car bomb attack.

The law enforcement officer found human tissue at the scene, checked all the clues, and finally confirmed the authenticity of the report.

But all of this comes from Qihe's unilateral rhetoric. They have no way to prove its authenticity, and before Monica's "father" appeared, they had firmly believed in it.

Monica did not trust the other party easily. Everyone knew that it was not difficult to change her appearance in 2167. After meeting the other party, she used her only memory of her father to ask the other party, including many Details that even the organization and Gustav don't know.

However, the other party all made the most accurate response.

"Monica said she wanted to be quiet."

Walking on the street full of people, Gustav looked up at the floats passing by the two of them. After so many major events happened one after another, the life in District [-] has not come to a standstill. At the celebration, the participants were bathed in a jubilant and lively atmosphere, but he felt that he was a bit out of place with the whole world.

He must carefully consider Qi He's order.

It stands to reason that he should follow the other party's instructions and immediately leave the fourth district, a place of right and wrong.

The assassination failed, and the founder of Kolo Films is still alive.

Coupled with the national-level rescuer "Black Sand" who died not long ago, the coalition government is very likely to send a six-star rescuer.

Gustav guessed that this was the reason why Qi He asked him to retreat. It is not a good idea to confront the six-star rescuer alone. Not everyone in this world is as easy-talking as Song Lan.

In the end, he had to ask the people around him for help, "Old Song, what advice do you have?"

Looking at Gustav, who seemed to be middle-aged and whose life had become unsatisfactory due to various pressures, Song Lan suddenly had a strange feeling.

He is such a good young man in his early 20s, does he look like the type with rich experience in raising children?
But since the other party asked the question sincerely, Song Lan, who upholds the principle of politeness, still expressed her thoughts, "You follow her secretly first, Monica is in a state of confusion now, and the book says that she is now a criminal. Take advantage of the opportunity."

"Book? What book?"

"Criminal Minds."

Except for "A Little Tip for Love Every Day", Lu Xiang's bookshelf is full of books of this type. She is a studious person and bought a lot of paper books to expand her bookshelf. She usually uses them when she gets home from work. Read books in your spare time to improve your professional knowledge.

As for Song Lan...

When he was pretending, he would pick up the book and turn a few pages to pretend that he was actually a studious person.

Of course, these were all things that happened when he first moved into Lu Xiang's apartment.

At that time, when I first arrived at the supervisor, I was still a little cautious in all aspects, and I couldn't sit on the sofa watching movies like no one else like I do now.

"I see, thanks, Lao Song."

Gustav nodded, and chased after Monica in the direction she left.

Song Lan found a chair in the square and sat down. He watched the crowd following the limousine not far away, and finally had time to think alone.

Qihe woke up?

Called Gustav as soon as he woke up and asked him to evacuate the fourth district?
He always felt that this matter was full of strangeness, so he sent a text message to Dr. Baizhu, and a few minutes later, the small cleaning robot of Eden Hotel climbed up the window of their apartment and brought him information about Qihe latest news.

Qi He was still in a coma, lying motionless on the sofa.

So the one who called just now probably wasn't Qi He who was still in their room.

When he and Lu Xiang left the room one after another, they discovered something unusual about Qi He's body. The swarm version of "hand sanitizer" repaired the wounds on Qi He's body within a few minutes, but he didn't notice it at all. Lu Xiang suspected that his coma might be caused by other reasons.

....................................

On the other side, the suspension vehicle carrying Lu Xiang landed slowly in an alley with a biased terrain.

This road neither leads to the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau, nor can it return to the Eden Hotel. If it were not for the new team leader who took over the case to lead the way, it would be hard for Lu Xiang to imagine that there would be such a deserted place in the fourth district. The street was deserted as far as the eye could see.

"Get out of the car."

The automatic door of the suspension car opened, and the team leader got out of the car first, and walked towards the deep alley alone.

This kind of place seems to be an area with a high incidence of cases.

Or it could just as well be the secret underground cloning lab of the founder of Koror Films.

This is why Lu Xiang accepted the other party's "invitation".

Of course, the official excuse is that she broke into the scene of the crime as an unrelated person. According to the investigation bureau's procedures, she must go back to the bureau for investigation. Although Teacher Catherine tried to protect her with her own identity, Lu Xiang unilaterally agreed.

Not long after, the two went deep into the alley and came to an open area.

"I remember this is not the way to the Bureau of Investigation."

After standing still, Lu Xiang looked around and took the initiative to break the silence.

The Abnormal Cases Investigation Bureau is different from MI[-] in that it is a public institution, with office buildings set up in every city, and only the offices of MI[-] are placed in these hidden corners.

Lu Xiang asked further, "Or is this the place you used to silence your mouth?"

"Kill it? No, Director Lu, you are very important, of course we won't do that."

The new team leader shook his head and said, "We appreciate your character very much, but we found that part of your thinking is still relatively old and needs to be upgraded and innovated. Don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. After all, human thinking cannot surpass theirs. cognitive level."

While speaking, the whole alley began to stir.

The abandoned house grew what Song Lan described as "surveillance probes", and they turned into pairs of eyes at this moment, staring at her uninvited guest.

More and more weapons are revealed.

The changes in the depths of the alley reminded Lu Xiang of the biological viruses mentioned in the movies Song Lan had watched. These viruses would turn the infected into zombies without self-awareness and only driven by the urge to eat. But it's not just creatures, even buildings seem to be a breeding ground for them to grow.

Those weapons aimed at Lu Xiang at the same time, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't be nervous, it's just some minor surgery and it will be done soon."

The new team leader gave orders.

But the scorching laser and dense bullets did not appear as expected. He looked at the prepared weapon in doubt, and soon discovered the reason why the weapon misfired.

The indescribable granulation did not know when to cover the machine, even the camera probe was no exception. The part that flashed red light was covered by biofilm, and eyeballs grew out of the biofilm, which also made him a The object being looked at.

Then there was a vibration under his feet, and he could feel something breaking out of the ground.

With a muffled sound, the first thing that came into his sight was a pair of sharp sickles, and what came out of the ground was some kind of insect that he had never seen before. It easily overturned the new team leader to the ground, and it was so powerful that it was immeasurable. It was so heavy that he couldn't move.

Through the cracks in the insect's carapace, the team leader saw that the abnormal growth was still continuing, and the flesh and blood tissue covered the ground like a creeper, and they penetrated into the wall and even under the surface.

About ten seconds later, Lu Xiang received the report.

The secret biological laboratory of Keluo Films is not here. From the reaction of the team leader, it is not difficult to see that he knows nothing about what happened in District [-], which is good news.

"what is this?"

The team leader struggled to make a sound. As soon as he opened his mouth, the granulation burrowed into his lips. He could feel that something was burrowing into his brain.

Then, his consciousness was interrupted.

"His consciousness was recovered."

Dr. Bai Zhu's voice came from Lu Xiang's ears, and the result was not unexpected, "I didn't expect them to really build the 'Sea of ​​Souls'."

"Can you track it in?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. I've never seen this kind of technical means. It seems to have surpassed the virtual data itself."

Although some don't want to admit it, Baizhu knows that those who pursue immortality have finally found a better hacker than her, and this is the first time she is at a disadvantage in a head-to-head confrontation.

However, she understood what the team leader meant by "upgrade and innovation" and "minor surgery".

"I guess they originally planned to package your consciousness and upload it to the "Sea of ​​Souls", and then find you a new body that is exactly the same... These are also from my hearsay, plus some of my personal judge."

Bai Zhu paused, and said, "In the "Sea of ​​Soul", the concept of time will become extremely blurred, and human consciousness will also become data that can be manipulated. The holder of the database has the authority to rewrite consciousness, just like Your consciousness is a folder, which stores all your memories from the moment you were born to the present. They can rewrite and replace certain files. When the folder is repacked and put into the new body, you don’t Will detect any anomalies, and believe those parts that have been replaced."

That's why the zealots in the first place managed to revive the project even after it was scrapped by the Coalition government.

Modifying other people's memories, and even their entire lives, seems to be a power that only gods have.

And the true nature of this plan is to bring together the consciousness of all members of the coalition government. In other words, once this plan is successful, the holders of the "Sea of ​​Souls" will be able to decide the entire coalition government according to their own will. s future.

"It is very likely that Qi He's consciousness has been uploaded into the "Sea of ​​Soul"?"

Lu Xiang suddenly thought of Qi He who had not woken up for a long time. If the consciousness had been stripped from the body, the body would fall into a vegetative state.

This state has been mentioned in some academic journals on psychic abilities.

"It's possible."

Bai Zhu was noncommittal, "If they successfully extract Qi He's consciousness, whether his body is dead or not is not so important, but you said that Qi He went to find you on his own, which means that they may have lost consciousness during the extraction process. Some accident happened, resulting in incomplete extraction of consciousness."

Using her "folder" theory, the files uploaded to "Sea of ​​Souls" were missing.

What Bai Zhu hopes is missing are some important documents.

Through remote monitoring, she witnessed the whole process of the team leader's body being dragged underground.

After a while, the flesh and blood tissue and machinery receded, and the alley returned to its previous calm state, as if nothing had happened just now.

"If nothing else happens, you should see him again soon."

Bai Zhu faintly sensed that this opponent is a bit tricky, "At that time, he will bring the experience of failure and death with him."

In this case, they seem to have become the bosses in the game, and these consciousnesses that exist in the "Sea of ​​Souls" have become players who challenge the bosses.

Maybe they are not strong at the beginning, but they can sum up experience through failures again and again, so as to prepare more unexpected plans.

The longer it takes, the worse it will be for them.

"The 'Sea of ​​Souls' keeps me out, but if you can find Kolo Films' biological lab, you can temporarily stop their rebirth."

"Ah."

Lu Xiang boarded the hover car completely transformed by the Devoured, and drove towards Song Lan's location under the guidance of the vehicle system.

Now it is necessary for this stupid bird who always claims to be a smart general to use his brains and try to find out the biological laboratory of Kolo Films.

The suspension car brought Lu Xiang back to the downtown area, and the people enjoying the festival were unaware of the threat they were facing and what was happening in the city.

And the moment the hover car landed, Lu Xiang accurately found Song Lan who was sitting alone on a chair in the square.

At this moment, she who had been calm and calm could not hold on any longer.

The passionate melody in the square made her lose her skills, and her pair of incomparably sharp eyes followed Song Lan's line of sight to the source of the music.

A group of hot dancers dancing to the music.

Latex tops, latex skirts, knee-high latex socks.

The spare part exposed their thighs and waist.

But Song Lan didn't seem to notice her arrival at all until Lu Xiang blocked his sight from the dancers.

"looks good?"

Lu Xiang looked at Song Lan condescendingly, and asked with a half-smile.

Song Lan was brought back to reality by the question. He was immersed in his exquisite reasoning just now, and he didn't notice any changes in the outside world.

He subconsciously thought that Lu Xiang was asking about her own outfit today.

Do you still need to think about the answer to this question?
Detective Song Lan felt that this couldn't even be called a problem, and now he was going to tell those who haven't read "A Little Coup for Love Every Day" a truth in life.

Even if you are in a daze and don't notice when your girlfriend came over, it doesn't matter, because there is only one standard answer to this question.

"It's beautiful, very beautiful!"

Song Lan gave the answer without hesitation.

But for some reason, this time, when he said the standard answer, Lu Xiang didn't smile at him.

All he felt was the cold.

Winter-like cold.

　There are a lot of people who have caught a cold recently, everyone pay attention to your health!

　　Little Theater IX of its 190:

　　Tuesday, noon on a certain day of a certain year.

　　An uninvited guest interrupted the discussion between Song Lan and Lu Xiang about wedding photos. The visitor was an employee of Song Lan's department, and he looked worried.

　　After people in the department knew that Lu Xiang was his girlfriend, they never stopped consulting about relationships.

　　During the initial period, he had to clarify to everyone that his ability had nothing to do with mind control, he was not Yuri X.

　　"I'm already a little afraid to face her."

　　The subordinate was dejected, "She works in the prosecutorial department, and when she gets angry, she can choke people to the point of being speechless."

　　"You can prepare a bag of potato chips, preferably the flavor she likes."

　　"and then?"

　　The subordinate's eyes lit up, it didn't sound difficult.

　　"As soon as she talks, you put a potato chip in her mouth."

　　Song Lan shared his experience, which is how he dealt with Lu Xiang before.

　　Although Lu Xiang seldom gets angry at him, there was a time when she had to call him a broom star when she had nothing to do, and some snacks could effectively interrupt Lu Xiang's "casting spell".

　　The subordinate left contentedly.

　　"Is this how you dealt with me before?"

　　When the room fell into silence, Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect you... woo."

　　The sweet taste filled her taste buds, and she had already bitten off half of an egg tart in the blink of an eye.

　　Song Lan didn't speak, and there was no need to speak. Facts speak louder than words.

　　Just as he crossed his arms and enjoyed the joy in the victor's posture, a pair of hands suddenly cupped his face.

　　Immediately afterwards, the taste of egg tart and another slippery thing got into his mouth.
