Chapter 1558 The Taboo "Zero"
"How did you die?" Jiang Cheng asked.
After a while, Fatty got the answer from Su An. He looked at Jiang Cheng and said hesitantly: "They said... they said zero... no, no, it's Shao Tong. Shao Tong died of illness."
"Died of illness..."
This answer made Jiang Cheng's scalp tingle, and the ominous premonition in his heart was coming true bit by bit. He knew that he was involved in a huge conspiracy.
Su An was kidnapped and brought to the base after Shao Tong's death, so it was normal not to recognize Shao Tong, and Jiang Cheng judged that these crimsons had no reason to lie to him.
In the subsequent inquiries, these Crimsons all expressed that they were not familiar with Shao Tong. After all, everyone was locked in their own rooms on weekdays, and it was normal for people to die in the base, and everyone was used to it. .
In a sense, death is more like a relief for them.
Looking at the faces of these crimson people with no trace of performance, Jiang Cheng instinctively felt wary. It seemed that everything was happening too naturally. He was keenly aware that something must have gone wrong. He scanned the faces of these people one by one, his mind working rapidly.
The atmosphere became depressing, and the air solidified at this moment, and Jiang Cheng finally realized the problem, "Tell them, let everyone who knows Zero and the news of his death from illness take a step forward." Jiang Cheng ignored the fat man and gave orders directly to Su An.
Su An looked at the fat man. When he saw the fat man nodding, he blew the whistle. After a few short whistles, the scene in front of him made the fat man frown. A whole row of crimson people took a step forward.
Now even the fat man realized the problem. Since everyone said that he was not familiar with Zero, how could everyone know and notice the news of his death? Could it be that everyone was present when Zero died? ?
Or is it that the death list will be announced regularly in the base?
Obviously, neither scenario is possible.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, and his guess was confirmed. The state of the crimson people in front of him was more like being collectively brainwashed. Someone planted a seed in their memories that Zero is dead, and It is false information that he died of illness.
All Jiang Cheng could think of at the moment was that the murderer was most likely the president of the Night Watch who had been killed by them.
And based on the current intelligence analysis, Jiang Cheng suspects that it is not only these Crimson members whose memories have been modified, but also researchers like Liu Hui.
The purpose of the president's doing this is easy to guess. It is to completely erase "zero", that is, the traces of Shao Tong's existence, and prepare for the next stage of the mission.
All this makes sense, but Jiang Cheng wonders whether the president's move is a little too cautious. He always feels that there may be some unknown secrets that have not been discovered.
The door was pushed open, and a person who looked like a researcher walked in quickly, his face obviously a little nervous, "Mr. Jiang, please take a step to speak."
After taking Jiang Cheng outside, the researcher took out a tablet computer with wavy lines on it, like an electrocardiogram, "Mr. Jiang, you can't stay here any longer. According to our monitoring of those Crimson members, He has begun to become agitated, and his body's various indexes are rapidly intensifying, approaching the critical point. "When did it happen?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised, after all, Su An has always been here.
The researcher tapped the screen several times with a rigorous attitude, and gave the accurate answer after a moment, "Just 7 minutes ago, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Cheng recalled that this time happened to be When he asked Crimson about the details of "Zero"'s death, the danger came unknowingly after this taboo topic was raised.
"Okay, thank you, I'll call my friend out, and then we'll leave."
Under the supervision of researchers, Jiang Cheng called out Fatty. According to Fatty's feedback, Su An also noticed that something was wrong with these crimson emotions and was helping to calm them down.
Soon, escorted by a team of security personnel, several medical staff wearing isolation suits rushed over from the other side of the corridor pushing a trolley covered with a white cloth.
Jiang Cheng ignored the guard's warning and lifted up the white cloth. Underneath were tubes of syringes arranged densely, which were already filled with light pink medicine.
The number of potions is even more than double the number of crimson in the room.
The researcher who was holding the tablet was worried that the situation would escalate and quickly explained, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wang, please don't get me wrong. This is a newly developed powerful sedative specifically for the special cases. What was developed only weakens their body functions and is not fatal.”
The fat man, whose heart was in his throat when he heard this, was finally relieved. He had promised the children inside that he would bring them burgers and ice-cold happy water for dinner. He could never break his promise.
Back in the room, Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai had been waiting for a long time. When Jiang Cheng introduced the current situation, they also realized the seriousness of the problem.
The fat man asked with a guilty conscience, "Could it be...could it be that the president is actually fake, just a cover, and this Ling, who is Shao Tong, is the real president."
“No.” Yao, Shun, and Yu were very decisive. Shaking his head, his reason is very simple. If just a fake president can fight back and forth with Mr. Wu Shui in black, then the strength of the real president will only become more unfathomable. If this is the case, then there will be no hope at all. The meaning was so complicated that the president came out and killed them indiscriminately.
The more important point is that both the president and Shao Tong are dead. There is no personal inspection of Shao Tong's body, so there can be no problem.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was very bad, the fat man couldn't help but stand up and comfort him, "Don't worry, everyone. Brother Su An has promised me just now that he will help us continue to investigate this matter."
After all this After struggling, Jiang Cheng lost his sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, Shao Tong's figure lingered in front of him, as well as the president's face that was exactly the same as his own.
Although Lin Wan'er and Wu both tried to persuade him in secret, Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that the president was the real Lu Jianli, the paper man whom Empress Dahe once liked.
Time passed in silence, and finally, in the evening, news came. A researcher hurried over and informed Jiang Cheng to go to Room 19 on the third floor.
This time Jiang Cheng brought Yao, Shun, Yu, Li Bai, and Fatty, and the four of them rushed over together. Before they reached it, they heard the sound of arguing coming from the corridor ahead.
The person in charge led several people around Su An and kept explaining something, but Su An, who was blocking the door of the room, ignored them at all until he saw the fat man appearing from a distance. (End of this chapter)
