life copy game.

bang—bang—

The crisp knock on the door echoed in the quiet and deep corridor.

"Please come in."

An old voice came from behind the door.

Isia stretched out her hand and opened the door, looking into the office.

At this moment, the silver-haired old man was sitting behind a huge sand table, holding a yellowed book, slowly flipping through it.

The difference from last time was that this time there was a small bookshelf in the innermost corner of the office, on which were some books and folders.

Ishia glanced at the old man and said slowly, "Director, I think..."

"According to the decision of the council, all documents related to the investigation of the Nighthawk case must be sealed, and all items and other documents related to the Nighthawk case have also been destroyed,"

He glanced at the file folder in the corner of the sand table in front of him, "I will pack these files tonight and send someone back to the headquarters of the Pollution Cleanup Department."

Then he lowered his head, continued to flip through the books in his hand, and said slowly, "Theoretically speaking, after the documents are sealed, no one can access them unless the council approves it."

"But······"

Ishia stared at the old man.

"Ah~"

The old man raised his head and yawned, then he closed the book in his hand, "As I get older, I tend to get sleepy, and before I know it, I'm almost seventy."

He got up slowly, and slowly stretched out his hand to put the books back on the bookshelf, "There are fewer and fewer old friends who are still alive."

Then he glanced at Isia and yawned again,

"Girl, I'll go back to sleep first, this will be your office from now on, you can familiarize yourself with it first, but don't mess around with the files on my sand table."

As he spoke, he passed Isia and walked out of the room.

Hearing the old man's words, Isia was stunned for a moment, then she looked at the back of the old man entering the corridor and smiled.

Then she went straight to the place where the old man was sitting, and looked at the folder on the sand table.

A note was pasted on the folder, indicating the names of the files contained in the folder.

['Nighthawk case' investigation files (collection)]
She reached out and opened the folder.

The tall off-road vehicle stopped in the silent night.

He Ao pushed open the car door and got off the off-road vehicle with a cane in his hand.

This is not Xicheng [-]rd Street, but an abandoned factory not far from Xicheng [-]rd Street.

In San Jon, even abandoned buildings and factories, as long as there is shelter from the wind and rain, there will be homeless people living there.

In the west city, the most chaotic area in San Jon City, corresponding gangs will naturally breed among these homeless people.

But the factory where He Ao is now is an exception.

This is the site of a chemical plant explosion, and the ground is flooded with toxic chemicals.

This factory used to belong to the Kaijiete Group, but it was temporarily abandoned here because the cost of cleaning up these chemicals was too high.

The original area of ​​this factory is basically ruins, and only a few corners can shelter from the wind and rain. At the same time, because it is full of toxic chemicals, as long as there are better options, the homeless are basically reluctant to come here. .

Judging from the information Eve obtained, this factory is near Xicheng Third Street, the area with the fewest people.

Because of the small number of people, this is also one of the most intensive killing areas in the entire West City. Many gangs will bring people who cannot be killed clearly to be executed here.

On the ground under He Ao's feet, there were obviously dried blood stains.

And this kind of "execution ground" purpose makes more homeless people unwilling to come here, afraid of bumping into things that shouldn't be bumped into.

The reason why He Ao came here is very simple.

His gaze scanned the dark surroundings.

The direct cause of the death of the son and daughter-in-law was a car accident.

And their bodies have repeated crushing scars. This car should not be a car that was encountered by chance on the road, but a car that committed murder on purpose.

So the probability of this death is not an accidental car accident, but a deliberate 'execution'.

Now He Ao already knew that the disappearance of his son and daughter-in-law was taken away by the Congregation of Evolution and brought to the headquarters of the Congregation of Evolution.

Although He Ao didn't know why the final 'execution' was a car accident, he knew that the scene where his son and daughter-in-law were found was not near Xicheng [-]rd Street, but on Xicheng [-]th Street, which is half a city away from Xicheng [-]rd Street.

They had obvious signs of being dumped.

Although they may not have died when they were dumped, so the social security number was the last to be left behind.

It is very unlikely that Evolution could bring people so far away for execution, so He Ao deduced that the crime scene should be near the headquarters of Evolution, but they deliberately threw the corpse so far in order to conceal the existence of their headquarters. of.

Of course, their initial idea might have been to randomly throw it in a far corner and let the municipal body collection truck take it away. They didn't expect that Xito's son and daughter-in-law were still alive and left their social security card numbers.

Hitting with a vehicle requires a certain amount of space to drive the vehicle, and the Evolutionary One needs to hide himself, so the chosen 'execution ground' shouldn't be too lively.

Howard analyzed all the areas around West Third Street and found three possible 'crime scenes'.

This one, was the last one he came.

Neither of the first two showed any obvious signs of a violent and brutal crash.

Stepping on the broken bricks and tiles, He Ao continued to move forward.

This factory area is not too big, and he will be able to search it all soon.

The place where he first entered the ruins was nothing special, except for some scattered bloodstains that had dried up for a long time, and some traces of vehicles, He Ao didn't find any obvious problematic places.

Until he reached the depths of the factory ruins.

There is a circular main building that originally belonged to a chemical plant, although now it has been bombed to the extent that only the outermost wall remains.

It looks like some kind of Colosseum in ancient legends.

There are almost no dried blood stains here, because it is full of various chemical poisons, even He Ao, who is now a martial artist, feels a slight discomfort when he breathes.

Those gang members dare not go deep here.

He Ao walked to the edge of the fence, and he was shining the flashlight he just bought on the roadside.

Around these walls, he found some old ruts.

It looks like it was left a few days ago.

Howe followed the ruts with a flashlight.

Soon, he saw an area resembling an entrance, where the ruts stopped.

He turned around and followed the entrance into the ruins of the circular building.

The entire central part of the building was blown away, leaving only a flat field of vision, and some collapsed low walls and columns.

With the brilliance of the flashlight, He Ao quickly found a dent obviously caused by the impact.

This dent is about half a meter deep and nearly two meters in diameter. It doesn't look like it was hit by humans or mechanical creations, but more like some kind of flesh and blood monster.

For example, powerful pollution monsters.

He Ao searched around the dent, and found some dried blood on some steel bars. These blood stains also looked very new, left a few days ago.

There was a bloody handprint left on a steel bar.

This is the trace left by human beings.

In this area, there used to be a huge tainted monster that was chasing some people.

He Ao continued to move forward along these impact marks and bloodstains.

Although these traces circled the entire factory area several times, there was still an obvious path.

Soon, He Ao reached the end of these traces.

It was a narrow passage that only allowed one person to pass through.

This passageway was blocked by a huge concrete pillar, leaving only a few gaps.

But through these gaps, He Ao could still clearly see the blood stains on the passage wall and the bloody footprints on the ground.

He Ao directly climbed over the wall and reached the exit of the passage, outside the circular wall.

At the location of this exit, there are two pairs of bloody footprints.

From the patterns on the soles of the shoes and the size of the footprints, it seems that they belonged to two people, a man and a woman.

They had just escaped from the ruins of the factory and were standing at the entrance of the passage panting.

He Ao looked in front of the pair of footprints, there were two deep ruts, and behind the footprints and ruts, under the light of the flashlight, there was a large pool of splashed blood marks on the wall and ground.

Vaguely, He Ao saw a middle-aged couple in front of him.

They were covered in blood, standing at the entrance of the passage, thanking themselves for their escape.

And at this moment, a large car galloped up and knocked them into the air.

Blood splattered on the curved wall and the gravel-covered ground.

He Ao bent down, covered his heart with his hands, and leaned against the old wall.

The physical pain and mental pain caused by the toxic substances in the air were superimposed, which made him almost suffocate.

After a while, he caught his breath, turned around, and walked towards the exit.

He didn't go to examine the bloodstain in detail.

He already has his answer.

The tall off-road vehicle passed through the ruins and stopped in front of him.

He stretched out his hand with difficulty, climbed onto the off-road vehicle, and sat on the chair.

The off-road vehicle turned around and drove towards the next destination.

At this time, He Ao's bracelet vibrated.

It was Ishia who sent him a message.

The content of the message is the investigation file of the Nighthawk case.

He Ao took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat, and after waiting for a while, he began to flip through these documents quickly.

These files contain a large amount of first-hand information about the Nighthawk case, and even include photos of many materials that have been destroyed by the Pollution Cleanup Division.

For example, this file contains photos of the warehouse where Nighthawks 'feed' the pollution monsters, and that warehouse has now been completely destroyed by the Pollution Cleanup Department, not only burning everything that can be burned, but even tearing down the walls.

These photos basically restored the scene in the warehouse at that time. A very weak-looking pollution monster was locked in a huge iron cage. Between the iron cages seemed to be a huge dissection operation table. The blade hangs by the side.

Judging from the content shown in the photo, it is better to say that Nighthawk is 'studying' monsters than 'breeding' monsters.

And in this document, the initial investigation team also had such doubts.

However, what Nighthawk did also exceeded the rules of the Pollution Cleanup Department, so the investigation team announced that Nighthawk would be arrested.

He Ao knew the general idea of ​​what happened after this.

Nighthawk will go to arrest his investigation team and escape after being wounded.

In these documents, they didn't say what happened in detail. They only said that Nighthawk fought with the investigation team, then injured the investigation team and ran away, and the investigation team left Nighthawk with injuries.

However, it was recorded in the document that the place where Nighthawk and the investigative team fought was on Suwaite Street.

He Ao is very familiar with this neighborhood. It is near Mork Street. When Xito went to his son's house, he would get off at the bus stop on Suwaite Street and walk to Mork Street.

The two streets are almost adjacent to each other.

Seeing this, He Ao also understood.

The evolutionist arrested people on Mork Street, probably for the purpose of finding Nighthawk.

Most likely, they are the forces that reported Nighthawk to the Pollution Cleanup Department for raising pollution monsters.

But why arrest people near Mork Street?Do they have some sort of proof that these guys are related to Nighthawks?

He Ao thought about it, and continued to look through the documents.

Nighthawk disappeared for a month.

During this month, the Pollution Cleanup Division has hardly had a direct confrontation with Nighthawk.

They had received some information about the appearance of Nighthawk, but by the time they arrived, Nighthawk had already left.

In the process, they discovered that Nighthawk had a strange beast 'Shadow Dog' secretly.

This kind of alien beast is one of the few alien beasts that may be domesticated, but the number is extremely small, and domestication is extremely difficult. It is difficult for ordinary people to be recognized by Shadow Dog, but once it has its trust, it will never betray

Although the shadow dog's actual combat power is very weak, its natural ability allows them to blend into the shadows, making it extremely difficult to be detected, and it can also bring its companions into the shadows for a short period of time. It is a natural sentinel.

And judging from its abilities, it looks like an extraordinary creature of the Nightcrawler sequence.

According to these documents, Nighthawk relied on the help of Shadow Dog, and was able to leave almost every time before the pollution cleanup department arrived.

But here, again, the documents are ambiguous.

Although these "capture operations" against Nighthawk all ended in failure, theoretically there should still be some data left.

However, these actions are all mentioned in these documents, and no action information is left.

Including where Nighthawk appeared, how it disappeared, and what harm it caused, nothing at all, only a few words to describe.

And then turn back, it is the final battle.

The director of the Pollution Cleanup Department came to San Jon City, and the original investigation team also obtained a report from an 'anonymous informant', knowing where Nighthawk might appear next.

This time, they managed to squat down to the Nighthawk, but at that time the Nighthawk was completely controlled by pollution and madness.

The document said that the director tried to persuade Nighthawk, but Nighthawk had lost the ability to communicate, and even polluted several staff members of the Pollution Cleanup Department, turning them into distorted pollution monsters. In the end, the director had no choice but to kill them .

However, the Pollution Cleanup Division did not end up with Nighthawk's body.

Because after Nighthawk was killed, the Shadow Dog, which had already been seriously injured, broke through the siege and took away Nighthawk's body.

The Pollution Cleanup Department didn't know where the pollution that caused Nighthawk to go crazy came from, so under the resolution of the council, they ordered the destruction of all items related to Nighthawk to prevent the pollution from spreading.

This decision sounds outrageous, but in the absence of knowing the source of pollution, it is actually reasonable to prefer to destroy the wrong and never let it go.

He Ao closed the file and looked at the dark night ahead.

This file solved some of his problems, but it created more problems.

The whole document seems logical and complete, but all the behaviors seem to stay on the surface, with a twisted and awkward feeling.

The Pollution Cleanup Department seems to kill Nighthawk in order to kill Nighthawk, and Nighthawk doesn't know how to prove himself, and runs away when he sees the Pollution Cleanup Department, or fights back.

All the documents still don't record any 'words' spoken by Nighthawk, and they don't explain the deepest question - why is the relationship between the two like this?

Judging from the performance in the document, the Pollution Cleanup Department seems to have some kind of deeper and completely irreconcilable conflict with Nighthawk, so that the two have actually reached the point where they can't communicate with each other.

However, this document does not actually show this contradiction, and there is an obvious feeling of stopping it and not going into it further.

And in this incident, the Pollution Cleanup Department, the power to clear the pollution monsters, seems to have some kind of 'cooperation' with the cultivation of the evolution of the pollution monsters.

At least the address of the Nighthawk in the last battle was most likely provided by the Servant of Evolution.

That 'anonymous' informant is very likely to be the one from Evolution.

It seems that the Evolutionary can finally 'find' the Nighthawk, and their 'knowledge' of the Nighthawk may be deeper than the 'point-to-point' Cleanup Division.

So the breakthrough point still has to be on the side of evolution.

He Ao raised his bracelet, thanked Isia first, and then opened a webpage. The first page of the webpage was a banner advertisement,
[The experience of flying in the sky, you deserve it. ]

Xicheng [-]rd Street Abandoned Grain Factory
This is the tallest building on Xicheng Third Street. Standing by the window, you can overlook the entire city at night.

A tall and straight figure was standing in front of the huge French window at the moment.

"Minister, everything is almost arranged,"

A figure hurriedly walked up behind him, "Although the time is urgent, there are very few things we can change now, but we have prepared enough 'gifts' for that person,
"If he takes the stairs, starting from the first floor, there are enough monsters to intercept each floor, and laser weapons are arranged on each floor, and if he takes the elevator..."

Speaking of this, he laughed, "We have already laid a net, this time as long as he dares to come, as long as he is not a B-level existence, he will definitely come and go."

"Well, continue to strengthen the protection, and all floors must be staffed."

The tall and straight figure stared out the window, "The final moment is coming soon, and no accidents are allowed above."

"Yes!"

The figure nodded violently.

The bright lights are reflected in the huge floor-to-ceiling windows from a long distance away.

For some reason, the tall and straight figure felt a little restless.

-

"Old man, are you all right?"

The young man put his hand behind the door, looked at He Ao who was carrying a backpack standing in front of the open door, and shouted loudly.

The high-altitude gust of wind blew the bodies of the people, and the violent sound of the propeller stirring the air flow covered up the voice of the man shouting.

"If it doesn't work, let's go back!"

Leaning on the door string of the helicopter, the man roared again.

This time, He Ao seemed to have finally heard the man's voice. He raised his head, held the crutch in his hand, and gave the man a thumbs up.

Behind him at this moment is the gray night, and under his feet are the small lights of the city like spots.

He Ao looked at the man's worried face, showing a comforting smile, and the wind blew his gray hair.

Then he holds the cane in his hand and turns his back to the city and the night sky.

Take a leap.

I wrote too much, later, please ask for a ticket for the super chapter.
