white night syndrome

Chapter 211 179. The final madness (please vote for me)

When he came out of the Metropolitan Police Department, an expression of impatience appeared on Li Yan's face. To be honest, he actually wanted to contradict the Police Director on the spot, but when he thought that the case was not over yet, many clues still needed to be used by the Metropolitan Police Department. The investigation can only be completed with authority, so he can only swallow his anger.

Li Dang glanced at Kurosawa Mika and Yuan Qingyu, who were also at a loss next to him, and became thoughtful.

He thought of Kujo Sakurako who left the scene.

Because Kujo was also a student at Yingying University, Li Ming planned to call her. If she called her at ordinary times, she would answer the call immediately.

But this time, all that came over the phone was a busy signal.

And that afternoon, Kujo Sakurako disappeared.

……

When I woke up from my sleep, it was already the morning of the [-]th, and I felt confused about what happened yesterday afternoon.

Thinking that today there would be a meeting at Shangying University to preside over security work, Li Ming said goodbye to Kurosawa Mika who was sleeping with him before dawn, and then went to the scene of Shangying University wearing a police uniform.

And when he was presiding over the security work at the meeting place of Shangying University, a distressed figure came from not far away.

The figure had long hair and was soaked to the skin, with many dead branches and rotten grass and leaves hanging on his body.

It wasn't until he heard the familiar voice that Li Ming recognized it as Kujo Yingzi, who had been missing for a long time.

Before Li Ming came and asked her how she ended up like this, Yingzi made a request to Li Ming that she wanted to enter the venue.

Although he didn't understand why, Li Ming finally let him go.

After entering the venue, Sakurako walked straight to the podium.

At this time, in the venue, the police chief was expressing condolences for the death of Yamashiro Yume and explaining the recent cases, and Sakurako would walk next to him and pull off the microphone.

She spoke into the microphone when the police chief wanted to take it back.

"I know the real cause of Shan Baimeng's death."

In an instant, the entire venue became silent, and even the police director didn't know whether to continue taking action.

In the following, Kujo Sakurako tells a story about the discovery of San Baimeng when he was young.

“In remote South America, there is a beautiful mountain range with a warm and humid climate and lush vegetation.

One day, a young entomologist came here for inspection. He went deep into the jungle and discovered a strange kind of fire ant.

This kind of ant not only has strong strength and teamwork spirit, but also has three-dimensional vision. At that time, the international academic circle had just begun to pay attention to the ant colony algorithm. Entomologists immediately realized the value of this kind of ant and decided to invest in the embrace of research.

In order to make better use of this ant, the entomologist decided to abandon entomology. He believed that this ant could bring unprecedented breakthroughs to his research.

So the scholar began studying for a degree in chemistry.

During this process, he experienced the hardships and joys of research, and gained a profound friendship.

The scholar's experiment was very successful. In the first year, he used this ant algorithm to screen out a variety of important compounds.

These compounds have provided important clues for drug development, thus saving the lives of countless patients.

In the following years, scholars continued to work hard and used ant algorithms to achieve important results in the fields of computers, biology, chemistry, and medicine.

However, until this time, scholars still regarded these ants as mere calculation tools and did not realize that they possessed intelligence.

Finally one day, the scholar discovered the wisdom of ants.

He began to be in awe of ants and realized that these beings were not just computing tools, but creatures with independent consciousness and intelligence.

With long-term training and use by scholars, this ant computer has become more and more intelligent and larger.

Yet this wisdom also strikes fear into the minds of scholars.

He began to worry about whether this wisdom would threaten the world and get him into trouble. This fear prompted the scholar to do something to try to limit this wisdom within a controllable range.

However, greed eventually led him to his end. "

Kujo Sakura paused.

"I think everyone knows the name of this scholar. That is Shan Baimeng, the well-known entomologist."

Kujo Sakurako's words almost completely denied Yamashiro Yume's achievements, which immediately made some people in the venue feel dissatisfied. However, some people also asked her after thinking calmly about how she could prove what she said.

"Of course there is proof. The deaths of Mr. Yamashiro's maids, Miss Shirakawa, Shirai Kuranosuke and Sato Masaharu, are enough to prove that these ants are intelligent enough to judge the threats to them from different people. If anyone questions them, , then he will immediately become the target of ant attacks."

After listening to her words, there was a moment of silence at the scene, but after a while, someone gradually laughed, followed by wanton laughter.

Because there wasn't even an ant at the scene, Kujo Sakurako's inference was completely self-defeating.

Kujo Sakurako just chuckled at this and said softly: "You guys are really calm."

She didn't know who she was talking to, but then as the screen in the venue lit up, the whole place fell into silence.

On the screen at the venue, a scene of an ant swarm attack suddenly appeared. This scene was obviously shot by the person who was attacked with his own mobile phone.

"I tried it yesterday to confirm my conjecture."

Kujo Sakurako said this while holding up the hem of her skirt that was stuck to her legs.

Then the venue fell silent, but then it was filled with excited voices.

Li Ming could see swarms of ants beginning to pour into the venue, launching indiscriminate attacks on everyone, while the instigator was lighting up a cigarette indifferently, looking like it had nothing to do with him.

Li Ming felt instinctive fear and took a few steps back together with his colleagues.

Just when the venue was in chaos, Kujo Sakurako raised the cigarette above her head. Amidst the diffuse smoke, the smoke alarm in the venue suddenly sounded, and the sprinkler heads in the hall sprayed down indiscriminately. water.

Under the wash of the water, the ants lost their fighting power one after another, while the people attending the meeting stood on the table and looked at each other in embarrassment.

An unknown disaster finally came to an end under this funny picture.

After that, the top management of Ikebukuro put ant extermination on the agenda. With the help of pest control companies, ant nests in the entire city were quickly cleaned up.Because of this incident, Kujo Sakurako became completely famous. In the end, she was unbearable and decided to go abroad to study. After saying goodbye to everyone, Sakurako boarded a plane to England.

And after giving an explanation to each deceased, everyone returned to their daily lives...?

Things seemed to be solved perfectly, but where no one could see, Pandora's box had been opened.

After all, who wouldn’t want to be the next Sanbai Meng?
……

"I asked Kuroki to retrieve this timeline of abandoned Baimeng resources. Do you want to see it?"

Yuan Qingyu, Kurosawa Mika, and Li Ming were sitting in the coffee shop. He flipped through it and like a magic trick, a piece of white paper appeared in his hand.

"I just took a look. It seems that I misunderstood the type of white dream before. This should be a dream constructed based on past events, but the ending is different from history. If we fail to solve the case, then the white dream will The ending will ultimately follow the prescribed timeline."

Li Dang glanced at Kurosawa Mika who was sitting next to him enjoying coffee and dessert. A faint smile appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared.

"Really?" he said absently.

"Hey, don't use me as a light bulb, okay? Although I don't know what happened between you two in the hotel at night, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between you two seems to be closer. I don't care what you do. , but at least you should have basic courtesy when communicating with others, right?"

Yuan Qingyu said angrily, but his negative emotions could not affect the relationship between the two people in front of him at all.

"It's just intimacy. Mr. Li Ming hasn't given me a decent confession yet, so we can't say it's a relationship yet." Kurosawa Mika said casually while swallowing the dessert.

"It's not a relationship in the first place..."

Li Ming returned to normal, looked at the dream expert in front of him and raised his eyebrows, then took the blank paper and looked at it carefully.

"In 1955, Bobwhite discovered fire ants in South America.

In 1962, Shan Baimeng used the ant colony algorithm to screen compounds for the first time.

In 2001, Shan Baimeng mastered the technology of using pheromones to directly input information into ant colonies.

In 201X, Shan Baimeng accidentally discovered the intelligent behavior of ants, which frightened him.

On February 2, Yamashiro Yume and Shirai Kuranosuke started work on pheromone dyes, hoping to use this method to make the ants’ whereabouts nowhere to hide and increase their controllability. At this time, Shirai did not Don't know about fire ants.

On April 4, Shan Baimeng saw traces of ants at home and learned that his intentions had been leaked.

On April 4, Shanbaimeng made the decision to abandon the use of ant colony algorithm.

On April 4, Shan Baimeng called a pest control company, but on the same day, Ant lied to them and told them that the synthesis method of a compound they had previously calculated was wrong, and this compound was the one Shanbaimeng would attend college next. According to the results announced at the meeting, in order to avoid ruining his reputation before retiring, Shan Baimeng could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​completely getting rid of the ants, and used the queen to threaten the ants and let them tell him the true synthesis conditions.

On April 4, the ant colony told Shan Baimeng about a synthesis method that included sodium azide. In order to ensure its feasibility, Shan Baimeng planned to conduct the experiment himself this time.

That day, after Masaharu Sato delivered the medicine, Yamashiromu drove him away. He himself knew that azide compounds would be dangerous when exposed to acid, so he placed the acid reagent in an explosion-proof cabinet in advance.

But in the end, the accident still happened, because before that, countless ants sprayed formic acid on his cuffs, but the impatient Shan Baimeng was unaware of this.

In the end, there was an explosion in the laboratory, and the aftermath shattered the glass of the ant nest. The ants rolled out of the fire carrying the eggs of the queen, leaving a trail of charred corpses.

Downstairs, Shirakawa screamed when she saw the huge ant colony. At this time, the ant colony also discovered her. Relying on the huge number, the ant colony made Shirakawa lose her ability to move. In the end, because the fire became stronger, the ant colony had no choice but to of shrinking into the bathroom.

After the firefighters arrived, the ants rushed out of the villa and finally disappeared into the garden of the villa.

On April 4, in order to completely kill Shirakawa, the ants stole Kurosawa Chemical's anesthetic and made Shirakawa completely stop breathing that night.

On April 4, after two days of searching, the ant colony finally found Kuranosuke Shirai through the smell of Yamashiro Yume, murdered him in one morning, and destroyed the documents about pheromone dyes.

On April 4, by marking the patient's ants, the ant colony noticed Sato Masaharu and killed him that night.

On April 4, the ant colony launched an attack on Kujo Sakurako. If prepared in advance, this attack on Sakurako could be avoided.

On April 4, the Shangying University meeting was held.

On April 4, if the ant colony has not been eliminated, the eggs brought out will breed into adults on this day and begin their nuptial flight.

On April 4, several queen ants greatly strengthened the control of the ant colony, and eventually everyone in Ikebukuro was killed by the ant colony that night. "

"What a nightmarish act."

Li Ming began to think thoughtfully. He held his head and looked away, looking at the world outside the coffee house erratically.

Then he saw a familiar shadow, and like a conditioned reflex, Li Hao immediately stood up, quickly pushed open the door of the coffee shop, and rushed to the man's side with a quick stride. He tore the man's collar tightly with his left hand and made a fist with his right hand.

Seeing the farce in front of them, Minamoto Seitama, Kurosawa Mika, and the passers-by in Bai Mengzhong were a little dumbfounded, and because the man only had his back to the coffee shop, they did not see his true face.

"Did you kill Shirai Kuranosuke?"

"Li Ming... There's no way, there's really no way..." The man smiled maniacally, letting his body sink, "It's been more than ten years, do you know how I got here all these years?"

"That can't be..."

Li Ming hesitated to speak. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, complex emotions rolled through his heart. Jiang Wenkan, who was so cheerful and could spice up the stiff atmosphere, could no longer come back. Instead, he This young man has eyes full of revenge.

Although Li Ming knew Jiang Wenkan's state of mind, from the perspective of a bystander, he was still not that profound and could only use reason to persuade him.

But this is futile after all.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

——Li Ming knew this truth very well, but he couldn't help seeing his childhood being blinded by hatred. The once cheerful and lively young man was no longer there...?

"Revenge is not over yet, Li Ming."

Jiang Wenkan, who was being grabbed by the collar, raised his eyebrows, took out a few strangely colored coupons from his pocket, and raised them towards the young man in front of him.

"A new white dream is about to begin. Although there is no way to contact Shirai in reality, I will torture him wantonly in the white dream."

"Li Ming, I hope you will also participate."
