Chapter 9 Source of pollution

[City C, Liuli Street, Yunyin Tavern, 7.20pm. 】

After unlocking the phone, click on the text message sent by the unknown number. The content is the time and place to receive the reward.

After opening the mobile phone map to view the transaction location, Ji Xiu felt reassured about the safety of the transaction.

The place to receive the reward is in the most prosperous core area of ​​Wuhai City C. The specific transaction place is in a tavern with a lot of people. This place is not suitable for an ambush.

If you really want to trick him into entering the Hongmen Banquet, you can choose an inaccessible wilderness.

Continuing to browse through the mobile phone photo album and other information, Ji Xiu saw many photos of Li Tan and his daughter. In the early photos, there was a beautiful woman with long shawl hair.

After piecing together the information provided by these photos, he had a rough idea of ​​Li Tan's situation.

About a year after the birth of his daughter Li Mumu, that is, 6 years ago, Li Tan's wife suddenly suffered from a genetic disease, but she had no choice but to give up treatment because of the high cost of treatment.

This is the pain in Li Tan's heart. Fortunately, he still has his daughter with him. She is also the only spiritual sustenance for Li Tan to continue to live.

But the hemp rope only breaks at the thinnest points, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.

When Li Mumu was four years old, she suffered from the same genetic disease as her mother.

His income as a dock porter alone was unable to support his daughter's treatment expenses. Li Tan, who was completely in dire straits, embarked on the path of no return to become a professional killer.

In the future, every time Li Tan completed the task, he would pay it to the hospital for his daughter’s treatment expenses.

This is also the reason why Li Tan's living environment is simple and does not match the killer's high-income status.

But existing intelligence still cannot explain many problems.

For example, as a dock porter, how did Li Tan come into contact with the Black Hole Killer Organization?
  From the available intelligence, it can be concluded that the Black Hole Killer Organization is very mysterious. Even the Department of Law Enforcement has difficulty investigating the detailed information of the Black Hole Killer Organization. This is why he was severely interrogated at the time, trying to get more information from him. More information about the Black Hole Killer organization.

Li Tan's life trajectory is very simple, traveling between home, dock, and hospital. Logically speaking, he has no contact with the Black Hole Killer Organization.

With doubts, Ji Xiu used Li Mumu's birth date to unlock the other two mobile phones.

Of these two mobile phones, one was used for work and the other was used by Li Tan’s wife. It contained photos of father and daughter taken by Li Tan’s wife, as well as many selfies.

As for why he used three mobile phones, it was obviously because Li Tan was cautious to avoid sending the wrong docking information.

Each phone has a different casing color.

On the mobile phone used for work, Ji Xiu saw a new message in the work group. The dock monitor asked all the porters in the group to gather at Pier 3 at four o'clock the day after tomorrow to process a batch of newly arrived fish.

Many members of the group have already given "received" replies.

Ji Xiu thought for a while, typed "received" on the keyboard of his mobile phone and then pressed send.

Dock porter is Li Tan's official occupation, while assassin is his part-time job.

Since we plan to investigate the Black Hole Organization as Li Tan and understand why the Black Hole Organization wants to kill Han Yun, it is necessary to follow Li Tan's life trajectory to find clues.

After looking through the messages on the three mobile phones, Ji Xiu rummaged around the house again.

It can be seen that Li Tan lives a very simple life, spending all his income on his daughter's treatment, and there are not even decent household appliances in the room.

Unable to find any useful clues, Ji Xiu felt tired and decided to go to the bedroom to take a nap.

Early the next morning, Ji Xiu was woken up by the noise outside the window.

Opening the curtains, the street outside was very lively with people coming and going. Many mobile breakfast stalls were set up on the roadside. The hot white mist drifted away in the wind, and the air was mixed with the smell of various foods.

Feeling hungry, Ji Xiu followed the scent and came downstairs, and found a vacant stall nearby to sit down.

"Lao Li, are you still the same as Lao San today?"

Before Ji Xiu could speak, a middle-aged man in an apron who was busy in front of the stall shouted at him.

"Yes, the third child."

Ji Xiu responded enthusiastically to the stranger's greeting.

Although he has no memory of Li Tan, he knows that Li Tan is an old resident here, and it is normal for him to know the neighbors nearby.

Not long after, the stall owner brought breakfast.

A bowl of morning wine, a bowl of spicy rice soup, and three fried eggs.

The soup base of spicy soup rice is made from fresh pig offal such as pig tongue, pork tripe, rice intestines, pig heart, etc. and sauerkraut. It is steaming with white mist and fragrant.

He glanced at the nearby tables. Most of the other diners' breakfasts also came with morning wine.

It’s not hard to understand why you drink in the morning.

City C is close to the port and the air is very humid. Drinking morning wine to ward off the cold is obviously a custom here.

Ji Xiu, who felt hungry, immediately ate his food.

Ji Xiu, who didn't like to drink, found that using Li Tan's body to take a sip of morning wine didn't have any spicy or spicy taste that was hard to swallow. This is obviously related to Li Tan's body's adaptability to alcohol.

At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the front. Ji Xiu looked up and saw a team of more than ten people wearing "Yu Jing Military Uniforms" running through the street. Pedestrians turned aside to avoid them.

Looking at the team leaving towards the pier, Ji Xiu heard the conversation between the two young men at the side table.

"Have you heard that there has been another source of pollution in the city recently? Many people in District C where we are located have been infected."

Another young man heard this, put down the spoon that was in his mouth, and said nervously:
  "It's happening again? This time it won't trigger a lockdown, right?"

"I'm not sure. Anyway, be careful. Don't go out for anything important, so as not to get infected. The church will not show mercy to the infected. You also know the fate of those who were infected before."

"Hey, the situation is turbulent now. I suspect that the chaos organization has penetrated into other high-level cities..."

Before he finished speaking, as if he had realized something, the man suddenly shut up, glanced around nervously, and then whispered:

"Hopefully there won't be a civil war."

Ji Xiu heard a lot of information from the brief conversation.

After breakfast, Ji Xiu took out cash from his pocket and prepared to pay, but the stall owner smiled and waved his hand, lowered his head and continued busy, and said:

"Lao Li, I'll charge this meal to you. I'm quite busy today. I'll settle it together with the previous accounts next time."

"Row."

In response, Ji Xiu did not refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.

After crossing the road and returning home, Ji Xiu used his mobile phone to search for information about pollution sources on the Internet.

The information he learned later made Ji Xiu understand that the so-called source of pollution was actually a communicable mental illness.

The emotions of an infected person can become very extreme.

Either extremely angry or extremely excited, completely losing the ability to think.

The most important thing is that the physical quality of the infected person will be greatly strengthened, and the body structure will even be changed, turning into a monster that is neither human nor ghost.

The Yujing Church has a very firm attitude towards infected people, and they will eliminate and deal with them as soon as they are discovered.

As for where the source of pollution comes from, the Yujing Church has never given a detailed explanation, and there is no authoritative interpretation on the Internet. However, there are voices saying that it comes from outside the sea area, and some say that it comes from the east, south, and north of Yujing Country. , coming from outside the high walls in three directions... In short, there are various theories.

Every time a mental pollution incident occurs, it will attract great attention, and major cities will launch investigations and troubleshooting operations.

The last large-scale pollution incident was eight years ago, when a large number of mental polluters caused considerable turmoil in Yu Jingguo.

Yu Jing's military forces stationed in the five major cities, as well as various saint groups, were dispatched at the same time to launch a blanket search, and only then were all the sources of the expanding pollution cleared.

Everyone has a natural fear of pollution sources.

This is like a plague that cannot be cured. The infection will turn into an out-of-control monster, no different from death.

When reviewing relevant information, Ji Xiu noticed that Yu Jingguo was open to citizens except for the sea entrance to the west, but a high connecting wall was built on the three border lines leading to the land in the east, south and north. The explanation is to resist the invasion of external monsters.

But there are many different opinions and conjectures about this on the Internet.

Some of them believe that the country of Yujing has long been reduced to a colony of faith of the Church of Yujing. There is a free world outside the high wall, and everyone is controlled by the Church of Yujing and reduced to spiritual slavery.

There are even views that history has been tampered with by the Yu Jing Church.

There are various conspiracy theories about the Yujing Church on the Internet.

What makes Ji Xiu curious is that the Yujing Church has never given a positive explanation to some people's doubts.

It stands to reason that it is actually very simple to expose this kind of lie that has great influence on public opinion. You can film and record the scenes outside the high wall and bring them back to the country of Yujing to broadcast to the people. You can even organize a private investigation organization to let them know. They cross the wall to witness the outside world.

However, the Yujing Church never gave any explanation, and even deliberately avoided this topic, and only used public opinion control to suppress the spread of conspiracy theories.

This has led to the spread of conspiracy theories and even being regarded as truth by many people.

It can be seen that the influence of the Yujing Church in the hearts of the people is increasingly frustrated, especially in the three inland cities, which all have the idea of ​​​​independently establishing the Yujing Kingdom.

The Black Hole Organization, the Thousand Faces Organization, the All-God Organization... and a series of other troublesome organizations that resisted the Yu Jing Church were born in this environment.

Without thinking about the problem, I looked at the time and saw that it was already 9: in the morning.

Ji Xiu began to think about his next move.

There are two things he needs to do next.

First, at 7:20 pm today, go to the Yunyin Tavern on Liuli Street, meet the Black Hole Killer Organization's home, and receive the mission reward. Next, go to the dock to unload the goods at am tomorrow morning.

With nothing to do for the time being, Ji Xiu decided to go to the hospital first to visit Li Tan's daughter.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Ji Xiu went out and took a taxi straight to the clergy hospital located in the center of City C.
