Chapter 488 Shining Brilliantly
"It's foggy? Why is there fog here?"

Nock glanced at the fog in the night, and stretched out his hand to pull the window of the archives that was only slightly open, but he only felt weak all over, as if an invisible force was draining his energy.

It's that fog!
He pulled the window shut with all his might, but the feeling of languishing didn't ease.

"Vision..."

At this moment, he realized that he was shrouded in an extraordinary vision that took effect on a large scale.

He had no time to think about how the vision was generated, and staggered towards the door.

The archives room is at the innermost part of the building. In order to prevent leaks, the airtightness is excellent. The window he closed just now is the only ventilation window in the entire archives room, and it does not directly lead to the outside of the building.

He is the only person on duty in the file room tonight, but there are many staff working overtime in the office hall outside.

When he stumbled into the hall to remind everyone, he found that the entire office hall was filled with a faint mist.

The FBI agents who had been working outside were all sleeping on their stomachs or lying down in the mist.

"Chief!"

With a chill in his heart, he climbed to the elevator with difficulty and pressed the elevator going upstairs.

As the elevator lights showed the changing floors, he felt a great sense of fatigue sweeping through his body.

His energy had dissipated, and all that was left was the sleepiness of staying up late and working for days.

He longed to lie down there, into eternal sleep.

His body holding on to the elevator door began to slide down gradually.

At this time, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

'If it was Ender, what would he do? '

A force surged into his arm from nowhere, and he grabbed the smooth elevator door with difficulty, supporting his body.

At the same moment, the elevator opened and he fell into the elevator.

This time he didn't fall, but leaned against the wall and pressed down on the floor where the director's office was located.

The elevator goes up from floor to floor.

He leaned against the corner of the elevator, using friction to ease the pressure on his legs.

In the process of waking up, he felt that his life seemed to be passing by little by little with the changing numbers of the elevator.

He was getting more and more tired, more and more tired, his feet seemed to be tied with thousands of catties of iron, and he couldn't move an inch.

The floor of the archives room was not far from the floor of the director's office. Nock insisted on keeping his eyes wide open so as not to fall asleep.

At this moment, every second of time is as long as a year.

Finally, the elevator door opened slowly. With all his strength, he pressed the inner wall of the elevator and pushed himself, rolling and crawling out of the elevator.

The elevator was not far from the director's office, and the surrounding colleagues all fell to the ground, and the dense fog covered the space.

At this moment, the door of the director's office is open, which is not good news.

Usually the chief never wants people to disturb his work.

Nock walked slowly and staggeringly through the door.

What caught his eyes was a dense fog that made it impossible to see his fingers.

The person who created this vision knew the director's position very well, so he gave priority to attacking the director.

After stepping into this office, he felt that the speed of his life had suddenly increased several times.

The bad premonition in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

He moved towards the director's desk with difficulty, and then he vaguely saw a figure lying on the ground in the mist, and in front of this figure, there was something shining red.

Nock, who was the No.1 intern, quickly reflected on what it was.

'Emergency button'

This button is usually installed in the mayor's office and the city defense commander's office. In the face of a major crisis that cannot be resisted, pressing this button will notify the whole city to enter emergency shelter and try to send a distress message to the outside world.

As Limen City is a city directly under the federal central government, the status of the FBI is not low, so the FBI also has this button.

Nock understood what the Chief wanted in the end.

He walked over there with difficulty, but staggered and fell to the ground.

He felt that his body was not belonging to him, and all perception of the outside world became dull.

The power of the vision here is too strong for an ordinary person like him to bear, and it seems that the deeper you go, the stronger the place near the chief.

He should leave from here, return to the place where the power of vision is weaker outside, try to prolong his life a little bit, maybe he can live until the rescue arrives.

He glanced back at the open office door, arched his body with difficulty, pressed his elbows on the ground, and crawled towards the direction of the red light little by little.

Pate's last parting words echoed in his ears.

'When that moment comes, you make your choice. '

His vision became more and more blurred, and his perception of the outside world became weaker and weaker.

At the last moment when his strength was about to run out, he finally felt that he had touched something. It seemed to be the director's shoulder, and the button should be nearby.

He could no longer see anything, so he could only move his body with difficulty, relying on his memory to explore.

His arm was getting slower and slower, and finally, he touched an open button cover.

The chief had already opened the lid, but in the end he never had a chance to press it.

Nock fumbled and pressed the button.

Nock knew that he was no better than the director, and the erosion suffered by the director was far stronger than him.

Shrill evacuation sirens resounded throughout the city.

But Nock couldn't hear it anymore.

He was lying on the ground, motionless.

······
I don't know how long it took, a cleaning robot entered the office.

Qunxing Pharmaceutical Building
After hearing He Ao's words, Genos' complexion changed slightly, and the senator looked at He Ao seriously for the first time, and then he laughed, "Continue."

"I know you are curious about why I know the name Fountain of Youth," He Ao keenly captured the change in his face, "After all, you have never mentioned this term to anyone, and you have never used it in any report. , even your subordinates only know that this is the 'source of life'."

His voice was hoarse, "But you are not the only one in this world who knows the existence of the Fountain of Youth."

"It seems that it was a wrong decision for me to hand over the Andavi family to Reid. His affairs are not going well."

Genos looked at He Ao, his eyes were full of interest, "This is a key clue, but I don't think you can deduce my father's matter from this."

"Of course," He Ao smiled with difficulty, he was noncommittal to Genos' statement,

"What you have done, as well as the materials of the research institute, and the 'monsters' you have cultivated, made me naturally connect with the Fountain of Youth, because only this legendary thing that can make people live forever can possibly With such a powerful life force.

"And this is also in line with the legend that 'the one who lives forever is not necessarily a person' after drinking the fountain of youth.

"More importantly, when the fountain of the Fountain of Youth appeared in records for the last time 900 years ago, it was located in Limen City."

He Ao stared at Genos's cheek, "After my research, the place where the fountain of youth was located 900 years ago should be where the Qunxing Zhimei Hospital is now, and the Qunxing Zhimei Hospital was just an abandoned hospital 40 years ago. park."

He paused, "40 years ago, a 'mysterious businessman' bought this park and tried to transform it into a hospital, and it just so happens that the 'temple' dedicated to the Fountain of Youth is a circular hospital.

"Of course, the current Qunxing Zhimei Hospital looks like the temple of the Fountain of Youth, but it was built 20 years ago.

"From this, I can draw a piece of information that the Fountain of Youth has indeed appeared, otherwise there would not be such a strong temple in this hospital, and it is very likely that it appeared 40 years ago.

"At that time, the person who was 'lucky' to meet the spring of youth bought the land of Qunxing Zhimei Hospital and wanted to build a temple here, but for some reason, some kind of 'accident' happened to him"

He Ao glanced at Genos, "So this land has been abandoned for nearly 20 years."

Then he went on to say, "But no matter what, this mysterious businessman is probably the one who discovered the Fountain of Youth, but I didn't give priority to investigating this mysterious businessman. where the spring is located."

"For a long time, I thought the Fountain of Youth would be hidden somewhere underground in this hospital,"

He Ao shook his head, "But there is nothing in this hospital other than relatively strong life force, my investigation has come to an impasse, so I have no choice but to grab the clues of this 'mysterious businessman' again.

"And in the process of investigating this mysterious businessman, I discovered that your senator's family may have undertaken the abandoned park project back then."

"So you asked that FBI agent to bring you to visit me and try to find the dossier?"

Genos asked with a smile.

"You didn't leave any valid files. You should have processed all the detailed information about the events of that year. Of course, there must be other documents mixed with information from that year, so in order to prevent us from searching for information, We were not allowed to use computers either."

He Ao also looked at Genos with a smile, he tilted his head,
"But my memory just happens to be 'a little bit better' than normal.

"I wrote down all the relevant key content, and then found an interesting thing. Among all the relevant email materials that mentioned this project, only the old senator arranged the email of this project, but there was no old senator with that project. An email from a 'mysterious businessman'.

"Of course, it is possible that the emails related to the mysterious businessman are also 'missing', but there is another possibility," Ho Ao paused, looking at Genos,
"The old senator was the 'mystery businessman'.

"Why didn't the 'mysterious businessman' leave any clues, because he doesn't exist, he's just an identity made up by the old senator.

"Most of the construction projects in Limen City will be handed over to the senator's family, so it is reasonable for this construction project to be handed over to the senator's family.

"So, the old senator led the project but 'disconnected' from it.

"And there is another evidence for this line of thinking. After the old senator was 'assassinated' 40 years ago, the park project stopped. If there really was a 'mysterious businessman', then he could change another contractor and continue Go ahead with this project.

"At this time, I already roughly guessed that the old senator might be the first person to discover the fountain of youth, but a new problem came, the old senator was dead, so the new one controls the fountain of youth for so many Who is the person in charge of the project?"

"So you asked me to take you to see the crime scene that year?"

Genos turned around completely and approached He Ao slowly, the vines behind him swaying in the evening wind.

"Yeah, only by investigating the 'assassination incident' that year can I know who the 'second owner' of the Fountain of Youth is,"

He Ao looked calm, "You handled the whole scene very well. After 40 years, the clues from that year were almost completely erased, so I found a way to find the files of the FBI."

This didn't surprise Genos, since Hoo clearly had some kind of relationship with the FBI.

"Then I discovered an interesting thing,"

He Ao said softly, "The FBI's superficial definition of this incident was 'assassination', but the old senator obviously performed some kind of 'ceremony' in the underground garden.

"In fact, the FBI also believes that the old senator himself was involved in some kind of evil god sacrifice, but it was not announced for the face of the Federal Parliament."

Having said that, He Ao changed the subject,
"However, what the old senator did back then was not actually a 'sacrifice', but a 'high-ranking sacrifice' used by wizards in the era of cataclysm. contact.

"The more precious and deeply connected the sacrifice is, the better the effect will be. Through previous reasoning, I have reason to believe that the object of this sacrifice is the Fountain of Youth, and the sacrifice... ..."

He Ao's tone paused, and he stared at Genos, "You have a very good relationship with your father, and you can't fake the missing look in your eyes."

"Yeah," Genos smiled with a little reminiscence, this was the first time he showed an expression with real emotion, "he loves me very much."

He Ao did not doubt the feelings of the father and son at all.

He went on to say, "After the 'assassination' incident, the Federal Bureau of Investigation followed up and monitored all relevant figures in the Senator's villa, but they did not find any re-holding of the ceremony.

"In the process of monitoring, the Mars Project related to the Fountain of Youth was also successfully promoted. I believe that the FBI was cautious in this kind of incident, so no one should have been missed at that time."

"So you guessed that the ceremony was actually successful that year."

Genos took He Ao's words, he watched He Ao, quietly waiting for the next words.

"Yes, but the first thing I thought of was whether there was a third party 'fisherman's benefit', but I quickly realized a problem, this kind of sacrificial ceremony usually cannot change the sacrifice midway, if the ceremony If it succeeds, then the sacrificial offering should be something important to both the old senator and the third party.

"It's hard for two people to be cherished at the same time and have a spiritual connection with both. The old senator's wife died young. I searched all the surveillance directories of the FBI and couldn't find it. Someone who might have some resonance with the old senator.

"So I tried to change my thinking. What if there was no third party at that time? In fact, only you and your father were present in the whole incident, and you were the third party who 'fished for profit'.

"But you were eight years old at the time, and the perspective of a child is different from that of an adult. It is almost impossible to have something that is equally cherished by the old Senator, and that something has a spiritual connection with both of you at the same time. , My train of thought is stuck in a deadlock here."

He Ao looked at Genos, "And at this moment, I saw my daughter."

His tone was a little low, and he said his final deduction, "You and the old senator are each other's 'precious things'."

"My father didn't get all the ancient books," Genos said with a calm face, unable to see sadness or joy, "In this sacrificial ceremony, when offering sacrifices to relatives, theoretically, the relatives should be killed first, because the sacrifices will first be mixed with supernatural items. Create a connection, and then gain extraordinary power, and at a critical moment, it may backlash the sacrificer and sacrifice the sacrificer in reverse."

"It might be." He Ao touched his coat pocket and added another possibility, "He couldn't bear it."

Genos fell silent.

One after another vines stretched in the air, and he approached He Ao step by step, "Thank you for being the only 'informer' of this story, but your trick of delaying time should be over."

Layers of terrifying pressure acted on He Ao again, causing his straight waist to drop slightly again, but this time he was not pressed to the ground, but continued to straighten his waist.

"Since the villa, you've been trying to give me the idea that you're an FBI agent with a 'sense of justice', and you're trying to give me a view of you as a 'good guy.'"

Genos smiled and said, "Under this guidance, I naturally came to the conclusion that you are not pleasing to the eyes of the research institute, so you try to fight against Qunxing Pharmaceuticals. After reaching this conclusion, I will naturally not attach importance to you. It will think that you are a reckless man who can be killed at any time with a hot brain, thus giving you a chance to delay time."

On his smiling face, his tone gradually turned cold, and countless vines flew out of him, "But from your narration just now, your understanding of the Fountain of Youth has far surpassed what someone who only cares about the Mars plan should have." Learn degree."

His face was cold, "Your purpose is not Qunxing Pharmaceuticals, nor the Mars Project, but the Fountain of Youth, and since you know so much about the Fountain of Youth, it is naturally impossible not to know its power, so you should have arranged to fight against the Fountain of Youth. Quan's backhand, delaying time is to let this backhand take shape."

"And you are still stalling for time with me, which proves that your backup is not ready yet."

The green vines flew towards He Ao, He Ao drew out his sword to block, and his figure disappeared suddenly.

"It's useless, everything here is under the watchful eye of the Fountain of Youth."

Genos raised his hand.

A new vine suddenly sprouted from the flowerbed, piercing a nearby shadow.

Bright red blood overflowed from He Ao's already injured left shoulder, and the silver sword light flashed by. He swung his sword to cut off the vine that pierced through his left shoulder, and appeared from the shadows.

Immediately, countless vines rose from the flowerbed and attacked He Ao one after another.

He Ao wanted to hide in the shadows, but found that the surrounding shadows had been locked by vines.

Genos didn't want to delay him any longer, and wanted to kill him with one move.

At the same time, piercing evacuation sirens echoed throughout the city.

Genos was briefly attracted by the alarm.

"Emphasis,"

He Ao also glanced in the direction of the FBI in some surprise, he laughed, "I am indeed a good person who abides by the law."

"Secondly, how do you know,"

The bright light suddenly exploded in the middle of the building,
"My backhand isn't ready yet?"

　There is a little delay today, a chapter of more than 5000 words, and the dungeon will end tomorrow.
