190 Secret Treasure (Part 1)
Drops~ Answer! In the empty and dark swimming pool, a drop of water dripped from some corner. The originally slight sound seemed so abrupt and clear in this silence.
The external teaching children's training ground for the Black Horse City Mengli Water Project Center has been closed for more than half a month.
For the sake of fire safety, all the crystal-core energy converters in the training ground have been turned off, and even the plugs of the lighting were unplugged. But at the moment when the water drop fell, the headlights more than ten meters above the swimming pool blinked twice, and then immediately went out, and the entire venue fell into darkness again.
It is twelve o'clock noon, the sun is the hottest time of the day. With the arrival of summer, the temperature in Black Horse City is approaching the highest time of the year. However, the inside of this closed swimming pool is strangely filled with cold air.
The temperature displayed by the thermometer on the wall is more than ten degrees lower than that outside.
The thermometer's hand swayed back and forth.
Tick, Tick~
The sound of water drops is getting more and more urgent, and the shaking speed of the pointer is getting faster and faster.
Hu, Hu...
The anxious gasps, accompanied by panic footsteps, came from the depths of the swimming pool venue.
A figure suddenly ran out of the locker room in the swimming pool and panic.
It was a young girl, about twenty-five or six years old, wearing the uniform of a king demon hunter, and she was very beautiful, but her expression at this moment seemed extremely distorted by fear.
She circled the edge of the pool, trembling all over her body, and ran towards the glass door beside the outdoor side of the pool.
Behind her, a faint breeze blew.
The sunlight outside the house shines through the glass door into the venue. Because of the glass material, the hot sunlight appears a little dim inside the house. It is clearly the sun at noon, but it reveals a hint of dusk texture. It feels like an old man in twilight sitting calmly on the bench in the park, watching the sunset, and waiting for the last moment of life to arrive peacefully.
That feeling is death, decay, and it also seems to be the destination of destiny.
"Ha ha……"
The female hunter gasped and finally ran into the range of sunlight.
The joy of escaping from the sky also emerged in her horrified eyes.
She accelerated suddenly, and with the greatest strength, she crashed into the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the solid floor-to-ceiling window did not move at all, but the female hunter was hit back hard.
"Ah!" She screamed in pain, but she didn't have time to think so much. Her trembling hands hurriedly pulled out her pistol, pointed it at the glass window, and pulled the trigger frantically.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The deafening gunshot echoed in the open swimming pool. A small hole was quickly made in the glass window in front of me. The glass also cracked several cracks with the small hole as the center.
Card! Card!
The female hunter was in a frenzy and shot the bullets out of nothing, but she didn't want to change the magazine. She rushed up immediately and kept hitting the glass window that had already broken the opening with her body.
The strong window, under her impact, the cracks became bigger and bigger.
The light of survival in her eyes became brighter and brighter.
She held her breath, stepped back and hit.
Back and hit again.
I stepped back, but suddenly felt something happened...
A dark shadow completely obscured the sunlight in front of the window without any hesitation.
The female hunter's eyes suddenly changed, and her face was instantly filled with indescribable fear.
She was stiff all over and stood there.
A hand stretched out from the edge and gently held her wrist.
In an instant, the female hunter seemed to have lost all the power of resistance.
The child hole in the eyes suddenly turned into pure white.
My body softened and fell in front of the glass window.
The noon sun shines on her delicate and beautiful face.
She opened her eyes wide and looked out at the outdoors with no vitality.
A few seconds later, the turbid white child hole slowly returned to normal. She shook her whole body suddenly, and her limbs and joints bent in a twisted posture, slowly "stand" from the ground, both anti-gravity and anti-sports medicine...
...
"Deacon Xie Xianwei, a senior intelligence unit in the combat department of the Dark Horse City Defense Department, and also the jewel in the palm of the Dark Horse City Headquarters, Xie Xiaotian, was missing six days ago while investigating this case. Three days ago, the Black Horse City Guard was attacked while on duty. According to the video of the incident site, it was confirmed that the attacker was Deacon Xie himself. But from the appearance, there are no specific signs of mutated infection on Xie Xianwei and Deacon Xie..."
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Taihu and Marco entered the Black Horse City, and were immediately taken to the combat center by the people from the Black Horse City City Defense Department.
A middle-aged man in charge of the case, the local minister of the city defense department, immediately started reporting to Li Taihu.
There are not many people in the conference room of the combat center, and the seating distances are very large, as if they are worried about something.
"The only thing we can confirm at present is that the principle of the occurrence of this vague, or the attacker's skill principle, is directly related to physical contact. If you want to subdue a person who makes a vague, you can only attack from a long distance..."
"Long-range attack is not a problem." Li Taihu interrupted the other party, "The problem is, can't you solve this monster with just one shot? Why do you have to deal with it?"
"General Li, we thank the helm leader for hope..." The middle-aged minister wanted to speak but stopped.
Li Taihu continued clearly: "Catch it alive?"
"Yes..." The middle-aged minister nodded with relief.
Li Taihu said again: "But she has obviously mutated."
He pointed to the beautiful girl on the curtain of the conference room and said in a deep voice: "I have also learned about this eucalyptus on the road. If the person contacted will be occupied by a monster. When the monster finds the next target and leaves, the previous body will become an empty shell."
"It's not like this!" The middle-aged minister interrupted quickly, "We judge that at least when the monster occupies the body, the occupied person should still be alive, so as long as they can catch it alive first and then prevent the monster from contacting the next target, they can always find a way to make the occupied person survive..."
"Then why didn't you do this before? You have to delay it until now?" Marco suddenly interrupted.
The middle-aged minister looked over with a frown and said with a disinterested look, "This comrade, it's not your turn to speak yet."
Marco smiled, "Is that true? My name is Marco, and my dad's name is Marci, do you know him?"
The middle-aged minister's expression suddenly became wonderful.
The few people in the conference room immediately changed their expressions, and their eyes were both excited and hard to restrain themselves.
But no matter who it was, the look of Marco became equally gentle and friendly.
"Shut up." Li Taihu decisively suppressed Marco's heart that he had to show off as long as he had the chance. Before the topic went astray, he pulled the focus back and said to the middle-aged minister, "You say judgment, you think, it should be, and these are useless.
Before you have no conclusive evidence, Deacon Xie is still saved, she is a monster on my side. I came here to help you solve this problem because of General Han Ke's face. If you insist on me capturing this monster alive, then I'm sorry, please ask Gao Ming for this matter.
But I won’t go there for nothing today. This eucalyptus is very special, not an ordinary eucalyptus. After I go back, I will report to the Lord Zhou Mingcheng of the Alliance Guard Hall. I personally tend to classify this eucalyptus as a quasi-cursive spirit body. Is it important for you, the life of the headmaster’s daughter, or the life of the six million residents of Heima City, you can decide for yourself."
As he said that, he pulled open his chair and stood up, and walked straight toward the conference room.
Marco hurriedly followed and asked repeatedly, "Master, are we leaving now?"
"Shut up."
Li Taihu had a calm face and took Marco out of the conference room.
In the conference room, the middle-aged minister and a few officials looked at each other. After a moment of silence, he said decisively: "The office will send today's meeting minutes to the headquarters department and branch office, community, and community. Everyone will continue to be vigilant. Do not gather unless necessary and do not go out. The Finance Department will continue to ask for money from the Union Hall for the city lockdown supplies. Do you have any other problems?"
Everyone shook their heads.
The middle-aged minister said in two words, "After meeting!"
After saying that, he was in a hurry and four or five people in the empty room dispersed.
Black Horse City is now like a forbidden area, and it seems that it is not safe anywhere.
...
"Master, do we really leave when we say it?"
"Go ahead!"
After coming out of the Dark Horse Headquarters Building in Dark Horse City, there was no ghost on the road.
Li Taihu said to Marco with a calm face and said in a deep voice: "I'm all here and I left as soon as I came. That's not right. At least I have to meet that monster first and then talk about it."
Marco said: "But... that's a curse spirit! You'll die if you touch it!"
"It's not certain." Li Taihu said, "But even if it's really a curse spirit, one-on-one, it's okay for me to run away. It's not that easy for it to touch me. If you're afraid, you can leave first."
"Me? I don't... Well, such a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions..." Seeing Li Taihu's disgusting and teasing expression, Marco decisively told the truth, and sighed, "Oh, why don't you invite Minister Zhao over?"
Li Taihu was silent.
For more than half a year after he was transferred back to Shejicheng, the Guard Hall had not issued a single task to Zhao Jiuzhou. According to the Elders' Courtyard and the League Leader himself, Zhao Jiuzhou is now a strategically-level violent tool, so how can he use him for all trivial matters?
But Li Taihu vaguely felt that there seemed to be something deeper reason hidden here.
"Master."
"Um?"
Marco suddenly interrupted Li Taihu's reverie and asked, "Have you heard of that legend? Geng Jiangyue's secret treasure is preserved in a corner of Shejizhou. Do you think Minister Zhao has obtained that secret treasure?"
Li Taihu said perfunctorily: "Maybe..."
"Oh..." Marco sighed again, "It would be great if he didn't get it, so we can still have a chance..."
Li Taihu smiled when he heard this.
"You might as well find an old aunt and tell her that you don't want to work hard anymore. I think Hua Qianshu is good."
"That's different! If you have the ability of Minister Zhao..."
Marco danced and fantasized on the empty road.
In the building behind him, his eyes were looking at him and Li Taihu lifelessly.
Li Taihu suddenly stopped, turned around suddenly, raised his eyes and looked up at the height.
