Latent Syndrome

Chapter 72 72. Arrival

Eight o'clock the next day.

During working hours, Lister never drove his own car, because emergencies not limited to bomb attacks might occur, so he always chose to drive the Countermeasures Bureau's car.

This car is a silver high-horsepower muscle car that has been modified and added with an arms storage area.

Dark clouds were rolling in the hazy sky, and it was impossible to feel that it was already dawn. The sultry air heralded a heavy rain. Next, they would drive to a place called Baishi Town.

According to the information in the mission information, the mayor's daughter and her friends were going to a casino for vacation, traveling more than 600 kilometers by car, but they did not arrive at the destination and disappeared on the way. The last location where the SIM card disappeared was White Rock Town, where you must go to find the last clue.

The time has reached ten past eight, and everyone except Heller has arrived. Colin and Eugene are sitting in the back seat smoking. They are all wearing specially purchased double-breasted black coats. Lister looks through the rearview mirror of the car. Look at the two of them.

"Have you ever heard of brane theory, Agent Colin?"

Liszt looked at Colin through the rearview mirror calmly.

"What else are you talking about?"

Colin met so many eloquent people who talked so much that a hundred stockbrokers couldn't compare to one of them, as if everyone was fucking Nietzsche.

"Brane theory is an extension of string theory."

"The boundless universe we observe is actually a four-dimensional hypersurface of high-dimensional space-time, just like a thin membrane."

"In our world, time moves straight forward, but outside of our space and time, from a four-dimensional perspective, time does not exist."

"If we stand at that angle, we will see that our universe is like a flat surface, like a sculpture made of matter. All the places occupied by matter are overlapped, and everyone's loves, hates, and thoughts Everything you think about is like a trailer on a track.”

"Everything outside this dimension is eternity, and eternity looks down on us."

"Some of the things we have experienced, no matter how happy or unfortunate they are, are still happening on a track, and will continue to happen until eternity."

Liszt's eyes showed no fluctuation, like a dead person.

Eugene choked on the smoke and coughed a little. Although he didn't know why, it sounded very scary.

"You're like fucking Irina number two, what the hell are you trying to say."

Colin was speechless. The strange thing was that his ability happened to be to go back in time, but he had been in contact with this man for less than a whole day. Could he have noticed something?

"My vision is a spectrum. It does not mean that I can be as fast as light. It is just a polymer that may change when I dive to the bottom of the abyss."

"But what I actually mean is that the speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers per second. The reason for this number is that I think it comes from some compromise in the amount of calculation, but it is not important. It just so happens that my hint occasionally Being able to capture this extreme can sometimes lead to insights into something incredible.”

"Maybe it's my misunderstanding. Sometimes, you will fall into a strange state, as if you don't belong to this time and space."

Through the rearview mirror in the car, Liszt stared at Colin, trying to see some clues.

That expression was like that of a living dead. His eyelids didn't blink at all, and he didn't show any emotion. He just stared so intently.

But at this time, Colin's state of mind did not reveal any clues at all.

"You are crazy, Liszt, you need to seek psychological counseling from Irina."

Colin took a deep breath of cigarette and said nonchalantly.

"As far as probability theory is concerned, this possibility is not ruled out."

The coldness in Liszt's eyes softened a bit, but he still stared at Colin.

"Are you a fucking voyeur?"

Colin's eyelids twitched, this man was really a little nervous.

"Oh, sorry, I have some astigmatism."

Liszt ignored Colin's sweet breath and responded calmly.

Eugene felt that the atmosphere was not good. You must know that it is quite a long drive from Baishi Town. If the whole journey is on the highway, it can be reached in four or five hours. The problem is that the mayor's only daughter is too wild, so she has to take a detour. Go to some scenic spots to experience the forest. In some remote areas, the road conditions will take several times longer, and it is not certain whether you can drive at night.

If the atmosphere was like this the whole time, it would really be unbearable.

At this moment, Heller, who was still wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and hot pants, opened the back seat door and found that two people were already sitting there, then he reluctantly sat in the passenger seat.

"You are twenty minutes late... Time is very important. I will fine you two thousand alliance coins."

Liszt said calmly.

"WTF?"

Heller was furious on the spot. He dared to deduct 100 alliance coins every minute. Two thousand alliance coins was already a month's salary for a waiter. Well, in a remote place, it might only be 2,000 plus tips.

"Think about it, if we arrived in White Rock Town and saw the body of the mayor's only daughter, and after testing, it was found that her death time was exactly 20 minutes before we arrived, how would you feel?"

While he was talking, Liszt started the engine and drove towards the highway regardless of whether Heller was dressed for an official trip or not.

"Isn't that the best thing? We should learn about this shit earlier. They say they are using SCT as a cover, but in fact they let us work as nannies for rich families. Damn it, I have ended up in this situation."

Since Heller was not wearing a seat belt, the instruments in the car kept beeping, which made her extremely impatient: "Can you turn that thing off?"

"By the way, you two ran away too fast yesterday."

"Let's talk about this math professor. Oh, he's the temporary captain now. He's so damn impressive."

Heller's arrogant tone and extremely dissolute appearance made Colin want to slap him away, let alone Liszt.

"Maybe that's true."

Lister did not object to Heller's logic and added: "But if the mayor's only daughter dies, he will no longer support the actions of the Countermeasures Bureau. The problem is not as simple as a binary opposition at all."

"The Congress of the Free Alliance... no, even among all human beings, there will never be a shortage of so-called capitulationists."

"Some members of Congress even privately agreed with the SCT's arguments, and countless forces were involved. They called the outbreak of infection..."

"Advent."

"It's not a few, but many people. They even want to be infected and seek a kind of evolution."

"Even though we all know the fate, people with weak willpower will only go berserk and die violently."

"But they still do it."

"Our enemies even come from within."

"For me, being the nanny of a rich family is also very important. It is more important than fighting against SCT."

"Not only does it require the support provided by the mayor of Los Angeles and his party members to the Countermeasures Bureau, but it is also based on the simplest humanitarianism."

"We have to save her, a girl who is less than twenty years old and has just entered college."

Lister explained with the most basic logic.

"Fuck, I won't vote without you in the mayoral race."

Colin opened the car window and threw the cigarette butt on the road without quality.
