Chapter 23 Source of the Virus
Lin Yi moved his body and felt relaxed and happy.
He pulled out the Black Abyss Sword, and the originally slightly heavy sword seemed to become light and airy at the moment, as if he was playing with a plastic sword when he swung it around.
"It's only 2 points of strength, is there such a big change?" Lin Yi was secretly surprised.
He tried to move a sculpture placed in the room, and saw that the sculpture that was originally heavy to him was easily lifted above his head.
Not only that, Lin Yi also felt that his body seemed to have endless strength at this moment, and all functions of his body had been significantly improved.
His movements are more agile, his thinking is clearer, and his whole person is filled with new vitality.
Lin Yi quickly adapted to his stronger body and started practicing standing postures in the room.
Years of exercise have made him very aware of his physical condition, and Lin Yi understands how to control every bit of strength in his body.
Within ten minutes, Lin Yi had completely adapted to his enhanced body.
After rinsing his body and putting on a set of clean clothes, Lin Yi suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He walked to the door, opened it, and saw the maid who had brought him to the guest room before, standing respectfully outside the door.
"Mr. Lin, the head of the Gaocheng family is back. I hope to see you." The maid's voice was gentle and respectful. She lowered her head and waited for Lin Yi's response.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
He closed the door and followed the maid to the third floor.
The maid's steps were light and steady, obviously well-trained.
Soon, they came to the door of a living room.
The maid stopped, gently pushed open the door of the living room, and made an inviting gesture, signaling Lin Yi to enter.
"The master of the house is waiting inside, Mr. Lin, please."
Lin Yi walked into the living room, while the maid stayed outside the door.
As maids employed by the Gao Cheng family, they have been carefully trained to know how to maintain silence and distance when appropriate.
The living room was elegantly and solemnly decorated, and Takagi Soichiro was already sitting on the sofa waiting for Lin Yi's arrival.
He raised his head, with a steady gaze, and motioned to the butler beside him to pour tea for Lin Yi.
The maid immediately stepped forward, filled a cup of hot tea gracefully, and handed it to Lin Yi's hand.
Lin Yi took the tea cup and took a sip, feeling the fragrance of the tea filling his mouth.
He raised his head and met Soichiro Takagi's eyes. For a moment, there was a wordless silence surrounding the two of them.
Takagi Soichiro's voice was calm and powerful. He said: "Thank you Mr. Lin for your help. I have already heard from my little girl about what happened along the way."
However, the expression on Soichiro Takagi's face remained as calm as before, without any unnecessary emotions showing.
This made Lin Yi feel a little elusive. The surrounding servants seemed to feel this invisible pressure. They lowered their heads and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
The atmosphere in the living room became extremely solemn, as if you were standing on the edge of a hundred-foot cliff, and one step could make you fall into the abyss.
A few minutes later, Takagi Soichiro finally broke the silence in the living room.
He looked directly at Lin Yi with burning eyes and said slowly: "Mr. Lin, listen to my daughter, are you an Interpol?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and responded calmly: "What?"
Takagi Soichiro continued: "According to my understanding, Interpol's headquarters fell three days ago. Interpol should not come to Japan during this time." His eyes revealed suspicion of Lin Yi's identity.
Lin Yi did not panic, but smiled faintly: "What does it matter if I am an Interpol? In this environment, as long as I am a human being, it will be fine."
After being exposed by Soichiro Takagi, Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he still tasted the teacup in his hand.
Lin Yi didn't care if his identity was exposed. If Takagi Souichiro dared to fall out with Lin Yi, at this distance, Lin Yi was sure to kill Takagi Souichiro within a second. Without enough strength, there was no way he could attend this Hongmen Banquet alone.
"So what exactly is Mr. Lin planning to do in Japan?" Soichiro Takagi's voice was calm and powerful. His eyes were fixed on Lin Yi, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
"I have only one purpose. Where is the source of the infection outbreak? I don't believe you don't know."
Lin Yi put down the tea cup in his hand. Although his voice was not loud, Takagi Souichiro did not dare to ignore it.
After a moment of silence, Takagi Souichiro waved his hand and motioned to the butler behind him to take out the things.
The housekeeper quickly stepped forward and placed the document bag in front of Lin Yi.
"Everything you want to know is here, just read it if you want." Takagi Soichiro's voice revealed an inexplicable complex emotion.
Lin Yi picked up the folder on the desktop and opened it.
There are not many documents inside, only a few A4 papers, but the amount of information on them is astonishingly large.
Above is a series of communications, arranged by date.
[On March 7, the expedition team unexpectedly discovered traces of ancient ruins in Antarctica. Everyone dug carefully, and gradually, a huge and ancient building complex appeared in front of us. The decorations inside the ruins are strange and mysterious. Whether in pattern or style, they are completely inconsistent with the characteristics of any known dynasty in human history. 】
[On March 11, with in-depth exploration of the ruins, some shocking traces were discovered. The interior of the ruins seems to have suffered an indescribable violent attack. The cracks on the walls, collapsed buildings and scattered debris all tell the horror of that disaster. Could there have been a rebellion in this mysterious dynasty that led to its demise? 】
[On March 13, the expedition team discovered an amazing corpse deep in the ruins. Despite the long years, the corpse miraculously did not decay and still maintained a strange vitality. This is simply unbelievable. Is it because of the extreme cold environment in Antarctica that the bodies were preserved? 】
[On March 16, when the body was examined again, the researchers were surprised to find that it was still alive! Although its breath of life is weak and strange, the instruments show that it is indeed alive. Through the detection of radioactive elements, it was found that the corpse had survived for more than 2,000 years. This is simply beyond the scope of human cognition. How could any living thing survive for such a long time? 】
[On March 22, during an in-depth study of this strange corpse, the expedition team discovered a virus that had never been seen before. This virus is highly aggressive and can infect and destroy living organisms in a very short period of time. 】
[On April 2, disaster suddenly struck. The ship's laboratory became the only refuge. Those originally healthy experimenters were transformed beyond recognition by the virus and became terrifying monsters. They banged against the tempered glass frantically, trying to break into the laboratory. Don't let this ship dock! ! ! 】
