Zhong Yuncong didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Yin's words, so he said it again.

"Don't trust him."

Zhong Yun asked subconsciously in surprise, "Don't trust anyone?"

But the other party didn't answer him, Xiao Yin frantically hit the glass with his head like a hysterical attack.

Zhong Yuncong was startled by the loud noise, and before he could react, Xiao Yin who was opposite him had already smashed his forehead, and blood was sticky on the glass, seeping down slowly and stickily.

The other two were obviously caught off guard, Xiao Yin's injury made Zhu Ci's heart ache, she hurried to Zhong Yuncong's position, pressed her hands on the glass, and begged him to stop; while Zhang Jiahe immediately took out the walkie-talkie , calling the security guard with a serious face.

But Zhu Ci's begging was obviously in vain. Not only did Xiao Yin not stop, but he intensified his efforts. Before the security arrived, he actually knocked out a crack in the thick glass.

Correspondingly, the wound on his forehead became more serious, and Zhong Yuncong was even worried that he would have a concussion if he did this.

The blood vessels under Xiao Yin's skin burst out, and his head was bleeding, making his face look hideous and distorted, but he didn't seem to be in much pain, instead, there was a hint of excitement in his bloodshot eyes.

Wait, why did my eyes suddenly turn red...?

This discovery made Zhong Yuncong feel chills all over his body, yes, he should have thought of it long ago, the red eyes, mania, numb pain, and speed that are different from ordinary people, it seems that Xiao Yin can only use one Things to explain.

He was infected with the "Paradise Lost" virus.

No, that's not right!Zhong Yuncong quickly overturned his guess. According to the timeline, when Xiao Yin was alive, the "Paradise Lost" virus had not yet broken out...

This is not right either.

The outbreak of a virus and the emergence of a virus are fundamentally two different things.Zhong Yuncong's brain circuit finally turned back. What he got from various sources before was that the large-scale outbreak of the virus occurred 24 years ago, which was indeed two years after Xiao Yin's death.So much so that in his subconscious mind, he never connected this person with that catastrophe.

But what if?

There may have been cases before the outbreak, but due to various reasons, they were not taken seriously.

Maybe the public knows nothing about it, and the official record is not there, but it is entirely possible.

Now it seems that Xiao Yin is likely to be the first infected person, or even the first supernatural person.

Zhong Yuncong took a deep breath, staring blankly at Xiao Yin, who was in a frenzy, and began to wonder if the other two words before were aimed at him—maybe it was just nonsense after the onset of illness?

Before he could figure it out, Xiao Yin was out of control.

When the security guards arrived late, Xiao Yin had already broken through the door. There was a hole in the glass wall in front of him. When Xiao Yin got out, his hands and feet were dripping with blood, and the broken glass splashed everywhere. Zhong Yun flew over from here and passed through his body without hindrance.

It is said to be an illusion, but Zhong Yuncong is in this time and space, so he is more like a false existence, just like when he watched the crazy Xiao Yin grab the throat of a security guard who was going to stop him but couldn't stop him.

He watched helplessly as Xiao Yin leaned close to the security guard's neck and opened his mouth to bite it down.

"No!" Zhong Yuncong's mind crashed, and he suddenly understood how "Paradise Lost" spread, but the source of the tragedy was right in front of him, and he was powerless.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yin seemed to hear his roar, he suddenly stopped his attacking action, his eyes rolled dully, and his eyes collided with Zhong Yuncong who was full of fear.

"I'm soon...not me."

He showed a sad and helpless smile to Zhong Yuncong, Zhong Yuncong's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to say something, the screen suddenly switched.

This time, it was a dark and cramped secret room, and he could only observe the scene inside through the transom.

He saw a person covered with festering sores all over his body. The symptoms were the same as those he had seen before. His sanity seemed to have been swallowed up by the virus. Although his hands and feet were chained up, his whole body People are still like mad dogs.

He has been gnawing on the shackles on his wrists with his teeth, and he doesn't know whether he wants to escape or is extremely hungry. In short, the blood and saliva in his mouth are mixed together, dripping down the corners of his mouth, which is very scary to watch.

From the beginning, Zhong Yun thought that this person was Xiao Yin after his illness had worsened, but when the other person looked up, he caught a glimpse of the mole between his eyebrows. This mole was so conspicuous that he couldn't remember it. Zhang face, but remember this mole.

This is the security guard who was restrained by Xiao Yin before.

So... was that bite still taken?

Zhong Yuncong suddenly felt that all his strength had been exhausted. He knew that time could not be turned back, and he was just a spectator rather than a savior, but he was still brooding over his own powerlessness.

Thinking of the name Xiao Yin, Zhong Yuncong's mood was indescribably complicated. He never thought that this person was the root cause of this catastrophe, and he actually had a face so similar to himself.

This will almost immediately make people associate - is there some kind of secret connection between him and Xiao Yin.

Zhong Yun was never willing to say the word "blood relationship", but it seemed that there was nothing more reasonable than this.

According to his age, he is likely to be his father's generation, but in this case, he is not Lao Zhong's son?

This speculation did not make Zhong Yuncong feel more relaxed, not to mention that there is Zhu Ci around - if Xiao Yin is his biological father, then Zhu Ci is likely to be his mother.

Zhong Yuncong felt that he was going to be suffocated, and changed his parents overnight, and his identity was still so hard to explain. Such a thing is not a big blow.

Just when he was having a headache, he suddenly found someone coming. He turned his head and saw two solid people wrapped in protective clothing, with a medicine box in their hands.

What, are you still trying to treat the sick?But "Paradise Lost" is so contagious, is protective clothing really effective?

One of them opened the door of the secret room, walked in with a medicine box, and the other stood guard by the door. Zhong Yuncong watched their every move, and for some reason, a strong ominous feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

But after that person went in, the patient was unexpectedly quiet, and the person wrapped in the protective clothing didn't have any precautions. Presumably, he was used to this kind of thing. After opening the medicine box, he skillfully prepared an injection , and then stab the patient's arm.

Caught off guard, the patient jumped up and twisted off the needle tube in the next second, as well as the hand holding the needle tube. The man howled fiercely, and his companion rushed in immediately upon hearing the sound.

But it was too late. It turned out that the guy had torn off the shackles at some point, and if one more person came in, he would just die.

After leaving behind the two corpses, the terminally ill bodyguard finally escaped and quickly disappeared into the night.

Zhong Yun knew what would happen after that, the escaped patient became a moving pathogen, like an inconspicuous spark, but it happened to be the fuse that ignited the explosive barrel.

Everything is irretrievable, and Mengchuan will surely fall into the abyss.

And all of this happened under Zhong Yuncong's nose, and he finally understood the significance of this illusion—it was showing him the whole story of the outbreak of the "Paradise Lost" virus.

Zhong Yun looked at the deep night in bewilderment, never hated his own weakness so much.

It was probably because of this kind of haunting in his heart that he desperately wanted to wake up from this nightmarish illusion.

Perhaps his inner voice was heard, and the next second, he faintly heard a familiar voice.

"Son, son, wake up?"

Zhong Yun opened his eyes abruptly, and what he saw in front of him was Old Zhong's face with wrinkles that could kill a fly.

I have been looking for my father for so long, and now I have finally found him. No matter who he is, Zhong or Zhang, good or bad, or whether he is related to him by blood, at least at this moment, Zhong Yuncong still has the urge to burst into tears.

The corners of his eyes were astringent, his nose was sore, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out to hug the old man, but because his arms were weak, he couldn't stretch them out, so he sucked his nose, suppressed the choking, and grinned.

"dad."

Zhong Yun never thought about it and couldn't change his words. He called "Dad" since he was a child, and this person has raised him for so many years. He didn't say anything about it. Maybe he is a bastard and a sinner, but he is still his father.

Zhong Zhiyuan, or Zhang Jiahe, couldn't help but have red eyes after hearing this sound.

He helped Zhong Yuncong up, then brought a glass of water to his mouth: "Come on, drink some water first."

Zhong Yuncong obediently opened his mouth to drink, and then hurriedly took a look at the place where he was. It was a small room, simple and simple, but it was well tidied up.

After the hot water entered his stomach, his already uncomfortable body felt much better. Zhong Yuncong gently pushed away the water glass and looked into his father's eyes: "Can you tell me, where have you been these days?"

Zhang Jiahe first placed a pillow, let Zhong Yuncong lean on it, and then sighed and said, "I know what you want to ask, don't worry, I will tell you everything."

Zhong Yuncong felt a little comforted. At this time, Zhang Jiahe touched his face again, and shook his head distressedly: "I lost weight."

Zhong Yuncong smiled, and replied bluntly: "It's not because of you."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiahe's expression changed subtly, Zhong Yuncong was startled: "What's wrong?"

"I know you came to Mengchuan to find me," Zhang Jiahe was silent for a while, and then spoke again after a while, "but now the 'isolated island' is not something you can come in if you want."

"That's right...but," Zhong Yuncong hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What do you want to say?"

Zhang Jiahe glanced at the closed door, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Cong Cong, that Xie Cheng outside, do you know who he is?"

Zhong Yuncong frowned, thinking to himself why Xie Cheng was suddenly brought up?But since the old man asked this question, he replied: "He is a person from 'Shadow', a person with supernatural powers in the name space..."

When the word "space" was mentioned, Zhong Yuncong suddenly thought of something, and suddenly it was broken.

Space... Xie Cheng is a space power user...

Zhang Jiahe couldn't help smiling when he saw his appearance as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Have you figured it out? Do you know how you got in?"

Zhong Yuncong pursed his lips tightly, yes, he should have figured this out when he first saw Xie Cheng.

If nothing else, Xie Cheng was the one who brought him into the "isolated island" back then.

Thinking about it now, his voice also seemed familiar... Of course, Zhong Yuncong refused to admit that it was an afterthought.

Oh, by the way, this old thief even stabbed him back then!

But that being said, Zhong Yuncong didn't have any strong emotions about Xie Cheng bringing him into the "isolated island". No matter what his motives were, he finally found his father in this "isolated island" and met Su Xian.

"I know what you're thinking." Zhang Jiahe sighed again, "You have a big heart since you were young, and you don't like to hold grudges, so you probably don't have much feeling for Xie Cheng. But, I have to remind you one thing, You can ignore the fact that he got you involved in the vortex, but you can't ignore the meaning behind this move."

Zhong Yuncong got a headache from being surrounded by him: "Father, you can say whatever you want, I have a headache right now, and I don't have the energy to think."

Zhang Jiahe glared at him bitterly: "I've been this lazy since I was a child, no wonder my grades have never improved!"

Zhong Yun smiled flatteringly at him.

Zhang Jiahe had nothing to do with this piece of rotten wood, so he simply skipped the topic, his face became serious again: "I just want to ask you a question, do you know who he is?"

He clearly asked this question before, why did he repeat it again?Zhong Yun never got impatient: "Didn't I say that..."

"You're not right." Zhang Jiahe interrupted him, "Let me ask you, when that little girl named Yingying made trouble, you and the people in the Management Bureau should have suspected her life experience and investigated her, right?"

Zhong Yuncong was stunned again. Having said that, he really remembered. After breaking through the "Tree of Life" plan, they found that Yingying was also one of the products of the plan. As for her biological father... At that time, he and Su Xian suspected that it was a senior from the Management Bureau who also possessed spatial abilities. ,

But at that time, Su Xian asked Zong Zhengzheng for confirmation, and the latter confirmed that the security officer had died more than ten years ago.Therefore, the investigation was discontinued.

Zhong Yuncong had almost forgotten about this, so that when Xie Cheng appeared in front of his eyes, he only suspected Yingying's level, but forgot about the senior who died early.

But, is the sheriff really dead?

In comparison, no matter in terms of age or ability, the sheriff and Xie Cheng from "Shadow" are completely comparable.

Neither he nor Su Xian were fools. The reason why they believed in the man's death was that the news came from Zong Zhengzheng.

What if... Zong Zheng deceived them?

Zhong Yuncong shuddered all over, and a certain nerve in his brain suddenly tensed up.

"Understood?" Zhang Jiahe looked at him with a smile, "Then I'll tell you the truth - Xie Cheng is a member of Zong Zhengzheng, and he faked his death more than ten years ago, just to secretly join the 'Shadow' , becoming a latent pawn. In fact, he has been secretly following Zong Zhengzheng's orders."

It turns out that Xie Cheng is an undercover agent of the Management Bureau?Zhong Yuncong was in a daze. No wonder, he had turned a blind eye to all the lies he had exposed before, and even suspected of covering up.

Zhong Yun hadn't turned the corner all of a sudden, and murmured: "Then he should be a companion..."

"Ouch, my silly son!" Zhang Jiahe kept shaking his head, "Don't you understand? It wasn't Xie Cheng who really got you into the 'isolated island', but Zong Zhengze behind him."

Zhong Yuncong stared at his father in a daze.

"Why did you meet people from the Management Bureau as soon as you came to the 'isolated island'?" Zhang Jiahe's smile was a bit cold, "Do you think it was by chance? No, from the moment you came in, you Every move is within Zong Zhengzheng's control."

Zhong Yuncong was completely stunned, as if he had turned into a clay sculpture and wood sculpture.

how could be?

It turned out that the meeting between him and Su Xian was a deliberate... plot?
