Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

The person who spoke had a hint of surprise and curiosity in her tone. She was the woman who had secretly climbed onto the platform from the water and dived into the lagoon in the depression. She was wearing a special tights that not only reduced resistance in the water, but also made it difficult for people to find her hiding in the dark.

Lin Ji held the knife and looked at the reckless guard who called himself Xiaolu and accidentally broke in in the dark.

She initially thought it was an ordinary gang member. She had witnessed the dirty things they did along the way, so she threw a knife casually and didn't care.

She was just worried that the noise would be too loud, so she had to wait until the secret door and secret room were completely locked before taking action.

But she didn't expect it.

She was actually dodged by the other party.

With her strength, if she approached this distance again, even if the realm was one level higher than hers, she could only take it hard, and there was no possibility of temporary reaction... In other words, he had predicted it in advance.

Lin Ji became interested:

This is interesting.

But just as she asked this question, before she could get an answer, she heard a "click" and the whole dark room was bright.

The light was turned on.

Even though Lin Ji's eyes were dazzled, she had noticed in her sight that it was the guard in front of her who pulled down the light cord.

And there was no extra movement.

It was as if he was frightened, his hands trembled, and his body was slightly tilted, as if he was trying to find and reach the position of the switch.

In this way, he just avoided the route of the flying knife.

Is it a coincidence... Lin Ji's heart flashed a trace of disappointment, and then shouted: "What are you doing!"

"Turn on the light." Lu Meng said.

In sufficient light, he could also see the surroundings and the other party's situation clearly.

The walls of the secret room were all steel rivets, and there were locked ventilation and water supply valves on the walls, which seemed to be transformed from the isolation room in the past.

But now it was covered with blood.

There was also a headless corpse lying on the ground. It was hunched but still strong as it was in its youth. It should be the old man guarding the secret room. The wounds and bloodstains were covered with unknown powder to cover and neutralize the smell. He was very careful.

His head was held flat in the hands of the woman in front of him, facing Lu Meng.

The sharp weapon that was piercing Lu Meng's neck and exuded a chill was actually a scabbard. If it was in the dark, it could scare many people. Just now, the other party relied on skills to change his voice and made those disguised sounds.

But now that he saw it clearly, his movements seemed a bit funny.

Let alone Lu Meng, even for ordinary guards, Lin Ji might not be able to kill them completely with a heavy blow, but could only knock them unconscious.

That's why the female examiner was a little flustered.

But when she heard Lu Meng's answer, she could only remain silent... It seemed to be the truth.

Fortunately, Lin Ji noticed that the guard didn't seem to have any intention of resisting. Perhaps he was frightened for a moment, so he was relieved.

She had just sneaked into this secret room and got rid of the guard. It hadn't been long. She was a little nervous when she felt the combination lock of the secret door turning.

Fortunately, it was just an ordinary guard who came in.

It happened that she had tried to force some clues from the old guard, but the other party was tight-lipped. Not only did he not reveal anything, but he didn't say a word and just resisted. Then he was eager to get away, so he had to kill him.

Now there is a newcomer.

Perhaps it is a breakthrough.

This shows his identity.

"You just said..." Lu Meng said, "Are you the Inquisitor of Black Scratches?"

"Humph, you are scared. You should have heard about the relevant matters during this period." Seeing that the other party was timid, it was useless to continue to put pressure on him, so Lin Ji changed his strategy and threw away the head in his hand, and changed to a set of persuasive words: "You are able to know the password of the secret room at such a young age. You should not be a simple guard. You should know that there is no good end to confront the headquarters. Now there is still a chance to abandon the dark and join the light... Where is the information of this house?"

Lin Ji searched for a long time, but did not expect that the specially opened compartment was empty.

Lu Meng glanced around, and finally her eyes fell on the headless body on the ground and the head she threw away: "It's all in there."

"What do you mean?" The Inquisitor frowned.

"To prevent leaks, Du En had already burned all the materials, and even the ashes had been scattered into the lake in the lower city... Now, the only person in the world who still remembers them is the caretaker who has been guarding this place and reviewing and sorting the files." Lu Meng pursed her lips, "Yes, it's right there."

"..." Lin Ji was silent.

"You really didn't ask anything?"

"He didn't say a word, so it seems that he is really loyal, but you..." Lin Ji looked at Lu Meng suspiciously, "Just confessed everything like this?"

And from the words he just used, she couldn't hear any respect for the local managers and colleagues.

It was a bit arrogant and prelude.

"They treated me badly, and now they still owe me three months' salary." Lu Meng made up a story and continued to ask: "Have you ever tried to ask him to write it down himself?"

"What! And the salary, I..." The black scratched examiner was shocked, and then he thought of the business and pulled his thoughts back, wondering: "Why write it down if you can say it?"

She claimed that her memory was not bad, and without the support of her companions, leaving paper materials was not convenient to carry, and it was not easy to hide her identity once she was discovered.

"...It's okay," Lu Meng turned around, "It's like this anyway."

"What are you doing? I'm asking you a question, don't avoid my question!" Lin Jie saw him putting his ear against the wall of the secret door where he came from, and couldn't help but exert force on the scabbard in his hand, trying to threaten, "Don't force me to pull it out. knife……"

Her main battle sword was not at hand, but the prosecutor covered the edge of the scabbard with gloves and cuffs, showing that he was just merciful and did not go that far.

"Someone is coming." Lu Meng closed his eyes and listened, "Besides, prosecutor, please don't hurt me...your knife is about to fall off."

"What..." When he heard the previous sentence, Lin Ji was startled at first, and then felt a little proud when he thought the other party had given in. Then after hearing the whole sentence, he seemed to have remembered something, and looked up in shock.

Just listen to the sound of "clang".

A long knife with a snow-white surface stabbed straight down from the ceiling and was nailed directly to the floor - the entire floor was also made of fine steel. This long knife was obviously extremely sharp.

Lin Jie was stunned, and immediately grabbed the handle, sheathed the knife, and pulled up his mask at the same time.

Covering all expressions.

Suddenly, she forgot what she was doing.

She looked at the young man who was still listening to the voice, and was glad that his back was turned to him.

Only then did he avoid being embarrassed in front of a local guard.

"..."

Lu Meng sighed in his heart, then stood up and looked at her: "They are coming towards us."

"So what?" Under the mask, the corners of Lin Ji's mouth rose, and even she didn't notice it. "The only choice is to fight out."

Now that the only caretaker with information is dead and the exploration of this secret room has yielded nothing, staying in Community No. 1 has no meaning for her.

As the prosecutor of Black Scratch, although Lin Ji is not a knowledgeable and meticulous technology hunter like Liu Si, she is fully qualified to lead the team - relying on her own strength.

Even if he bumped into the manager Du En head-on, he was not afraid at all. Even if he killed him and escaped, it would be more than enough.

"It's you, little guard." After holding the knife, Lin Jie paused, thought of something, and looked at Lu Meng: "Seeing that you are calm and knowledgeable, I won't embarrass you... You should be able to tell that too. The recent changes in the depression lagoon are like a leaking giant ship. If you continue to stay on it, you will only be buried with it. "

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Even as a prosecutor, Lin Ji knows that the most critical task of her trip is not to clean up the past one by one and deal with all the so-called unclean and tainted people, but to collect evidence and hand it over to the black Scratch, let the big guys in the inner ring play their own game.

As for which level we can reach in the end, it's up to God.

To be honest, Lin Jie was not optimistic.

"'Big Ship'..." Lu Meng smiled when he heard the female prosecutor's metaphor, "I just don't know how many people outside the ship will be killed before it sinks and buries me?"

"What you said is really vulgar," Lin Ji was stunned, and then a smile appeared under the mask, "But it makes sense."

She originally just wanted to advise and warn the guard. Judging from his previous calm and sensible performance, he was expected to cooperate with the investigation when the formal review of Black Scratch came.

In contrast, Lin Ji didn't care whether the other party would reveal his whereabouts.

I just didn't expect to be rebuked by these words. In the end, I felt like I was being lectured by the other party.

"Let's do this. If you are asked about it later, you can just say that you were held hostage by me and that you were unable to resist. You should be able to escape accountability this way." Lin Ji thought for a moment, "But in this case, should I knock you unconscious? Or it would be better to tie them up..."

"No." Seeing the prosecutor pulling out his knife and pointing the back of the knife at her, Lu Meng felt that she had really thought about it, and immediately said: "What I want to say is... why don't we just start from another line?" The road is gone.”

Under Lin Ji's surprised gaze, Lu Meng turned over the old man's headless body on the ground and found a hidden button in the direction of his fingers.

A pick.

On the other side of the secret room, a small door that was large enough for one person to pass through slowly opened.

When it is closed, it looks like cracks in the natural rust of steel.

"So that's it!" Lin Ji said to himself in surprise, "So in the end, the old man wanted to point out the secret door to me. I thought he was simply afraid of struggling..."

There was patrolling at the entrance. If she could take the old man and leave privately, she would have enough time to interrogate him carefully, instead of staying in the secret room in fear, and she would not have to worry about leaking her whereabouts and act in a hurry.

"..." Lu Meng said: "Although the things in his mind are gone, the devices and objects involved are still in the depression lagoon."

This storm not only blocked the caravan and Black Scratch's Tech Hunters, but it also blocked the Depression Lagoon itself.

They originally had enough time to use a masked boat to clear the way for the evidence through the waterway and transfer it to Aikang Town or Stober's garden, but now they can only stay on this drilling platform or somewhere in Qianchi Lake.

"We can go to Community 0."

Lu Meng said.

That is the uppermost level of Xiacheng District, which can also be regarded as the lowest level of Xiacheng District.

It can be said that it is the place where light and shadow meet. When the lake tide rises, the platform rises, making it also the best waterway port.

If someone has to move something they want and their plans are thwarted.

The best place to reserve is Community No. 0.

"I know," Lin Ji nodded, thinking: "But how do we get there?"

I didn't realize that the person who gave the plan had been replaced by the 'enemy guard' beside me.

To go from Community 1 to Community 0, you need to take a dedicated elevator, and the key to its hatch is the one that the manager Du En went to the dance hall to find.

Although Lin Ji, as a technology hunter, has mastered the lock-picking skills when exploring the ruins, otherwise it would be impossible to enter this secret room, but the environment where the elevator is located is different, and there are many people guarding it in real time.

With the exclusive key to open the door, you can still get through by stealth disguise.

But to be a thief and pick the lock in front of you...

It's unreasonable.

"And, wait..." Lin Ji reacted and looked at Lu Meng in surprise, "Did you say 'we' just now?"

"Yes, wasn't I 'held' by you?" Lu Meng said as a matter of course, then touched his pocket and turned his fingers: "We use this."

A little golden light flashed.

The key hanging on his finger was the key that Du En had kept close to his body and then lost.

"It's with you!" Lin Ji said in surprise, "Didn't you say Du En forgot it in the dance hall..."

She hadn't forgotten what the other party had said to her when she was disguised as a caretaker of the old man.

"He left in a hurry and didn't check carefully. I just found out." Lu Meng evaded, "And Mr. Inspector, the reason why you didn't go out before was that you didn't pry it open..."

He noticed the moment the light turned on that the other party's long knife was stuck in the gap of the ceiling ventilation duct.

So it fell down later.

It's just that this duct is in name only, a relic of the past oil drilling platform, and Du En had already sealed it during the renovation.

No matter how strong Lin Ji is or how sharp his knife is, it is impossible to open a path in a solid wall out of thin air.

"There is no such possibility!" The Inspector said angrily, but soon turned from shame to joy, "It seems that I did the right thing to 'hostage' you, the guard..."

He is indeed not an ordinary person!

…

Community No. 1, drilling well 2-4.

In a small room with bright lights in the dance hall, Du En was there, but the community leader who was originally well-dressed was now bruised and battered.

“So slow…” A man with a crew cut wiped his hands while looking at the clock on the wall.

“Wait three more minutes.” Another petite woman in black jumped down from the beam: “According to the agreement, we will withdraw once the time is up.”
