gray manor

17:00, California Detachment Inspectorate.

Evan Lee Gray in a suit and tie was forcibly brought into the interrogation room from the company office. An inspector with a livid face was confronting him. The two had been in such a stalemate for half an hour.

In the dim room, there was only a cold white fluorescent lamp above their heads, which made the two people in the room look like zombies who were overly shady.

"Mr. Gray, you can keep silent, but every minute of your silence will add to our suspicion of you. Please tell me, what is hidden in your holiday manor?"

"I only speak to my lawyer."

"You don't seem to understand what I mean," the inspector sneered. "If you don't cooperate with my civilized questioning, my colleagues can immediately enter your manor with a search warrant to find out."

What is civilization?

You broke into my office, brought me into this small dark room for no reason, prevented me from meeting my lawyer, and prevented me from knowing everything that happened outside. Do your actions have anything to do with civilization?

This is downright rude!

The proud Gray family will not compromise on this.

He looked calm, still silently looking at the inspector opposite.

This kind of dialogue has been repeated countless times, and the inspector's patience finally ran out. Seeing that Gray was so recalcitrant, he finally gave up talking to him, turned around and walked out of the interrogation room, dialed the internal line, and spoke softly to the Bian Dao: "The negotiating partner does not cooperate, the dialogue fails, and we are ready to attack the tough situation. Please collect evidence properly."

"receive."

Meanwhile, Raven Mansion.

The siren's deep black eyes reflected the raven's unrelenting face, almost his whole body was pressed against the raven's chest, and with a little force, the raven's ribs would be broken by him.

If he had done that, the broken ribs would have lodged in his lungs, causing difficulty in gas exchange, and he would have emphysema, and very quickly, circulatory dysfunction, and he would be starved of oxygen until he died.

The Siren has never had any doubts about his violent methods. His awakened "Lordless Chaos" walks with death. born.

Raven's glacier-like blue eyes showed no fear, and he even added fuel to the flames: "It doesn't make any sense for you to kill me now. My death is nothing but a group of red dragons without a leader, and it's just another fight. If you really want to To save Xin, she shouldn't be allowed to deal with Shi Ying alone, idiot."

Ever since Xin Xi was taken away suddenly, the siren's spirit seemed to be on fire, and he could never calm down again.Raven's cold and harsh words poured out his anger even more. As he pressed harder and harder, Raven seemed to hear the sound of his own bones cracking, and of course there was that unspeakable heart eclipse. bone pain.

The indifferent and firm face of Hongguang's top executive finally showed some cracks that were different from the usual ones. Sweat burst out slowly along with the pain, forming fine drops of water on the chocolate-like skin.

The top ability users of RL confronted each other like enemies. Zhaoxi sent the two disturbed and worried children, Xueming and Qiujie, to the bedroom to put them to sleep. When she was about to step on Raven's ribs with all her strength, she stepped forward and said, "Have you confirmed that the person who kidnapped Xiao Xin is from ARIA?"

"En." The siren loosened her pressure, and answered Zhao Xi in response, but did not raise her eyes.

Siren watched Xin Xi disappear beside him, but he was powerless to stop him. He felt that he was completely ashamed to see her friend now.

"Are you sure it's appropriate to put Pin alone in Gray Manor?" Zhao Xi's fingers hanging by his side hesitated again and again, and they still rested on Siren's shoulders, gently pulling him off the person in charge of the red light , "I always have a hunch that he will not be too good."

The raven escaped from the confinement, endured the slightest pain and took a few deep breaths before replying: "Mr. Ivan Gray will give him asylum as he can."

Zhao Xi glanced at Siren from the corner of his eye, he had already closed his eyes not to look at Raven in order to forcefully calm down.

This ugly thing is out of sight.

"When will Dr. Heath and Jonathan be back?" she asked again.

"Johnny has found the Sphinx, and he will contact us any time to bring us new information. And Heath...he is on his way to Gray Manor, Pin gave him the 'back door key', he can God Sneak inside unnoticed, and help Pin find traces of Shi Ying and Swallowing around the world."

Raven waved his hand, and the electronic housekeeper in the corner of the house automatically recognized his movements, and slowly moved to his side with simple medical equipment. The blue light flickered, and he was looking for the source of pain and Those seemingly invisible cracks.

"Zhaoxi, I'm sorry for Xin Xi's captivity. ARIA is far crazier than we imagined. We didn't expect them to make a move at this time. I'm surprised and sorry." The mechanical arm poked Raven's chest , he couldn't hold it back, he gasped in pain, and after a while he continued: "The original Plan A has been cancelled, but we still have room for redemption."

His eyes fell on the Siren who was peeking inside with closed eyes, hesitating whether to wake him up.

Zhaoxi saw all of Raven's expression in her eyes. After thinking twice, she asked the last question, which was also the question she wanted to know the most: "What do you need us to do next?"

After a period of complete silence for about ten seconds, the siren calmly opened his eyes, looked at the raven, and said at the same time: "We fight back."

This time it was not in the name of RL, but in the name of Sirens and Ravens, the leaders of S-class transcendental beings.

They must fight back.

A little earlier than 17:00, Gray Manor.

The eagle-eyed youth with dark blue hair removed the defenses in the manor one by one. His arms were still shaking, and his legs were sore from the high-intensity explosive running.

His body lacks exercise, this matter has been exposed by Xin Xi ruthlessly and frankly since the first day he met, now that Pin thinks about this matter again, for some reason, a strange sadness surges in his heart Come.

If he could run a little faster to the basement, would the defense system be activated earlier, and would the Xin system not be taken away by the black shadow that suddenly appeared?

If only a little faster...

will not.

It takes 3 minutes to activate the overall defense settings. When the first S-rank enemy appeared on the territory of Gray Manor, he had already reacted immediately, activated all the magnetic field interference devices and warmed up.

He ran to the basement just to give the system an iris and voiceprint key permission. At that time, there were still 30 seconds before Xin Xi was taken away.

Pin's rationality and reality told him that even if he could run faster than a cheetah and a car, it would be impossible to prevent them from taking Xin Xi away, because everything happened within 3 minutes.

As an S-class supercomputer, Pin has spent so many years upgrading and upgrading the defense system. No matter how fast and unprecedented the speed is, it still takes 3 minutes to start up.

The blue-haired boy sat on the master control seat in the basement. He looked at the expensive technological products in front of him, which seemed to be unique in the world, and thought: You are just a pile of scrap metal.

His gaze involuntarily fell from the main screen to the long rectangular device placed in the corner of the room. There are countless wires around the thing that resembles a coffin. The thickest wire is about 20 centimeters in diameter, for his convenience. The dark net pathway built by myself to connect databases all over the world, the optical fibers and cables inside can go directly to any place with electricity and network.

Pin walked slowly to the long rectangular device. He stretched out his pale fingers and gently stroked the large alloy box. He could not help imagining the feeling of his thin body lying down—the electric current would pass through his body and brain , he will use his transcendent ability to manipulate and upload his complete consciousness, he will merge into the grid, and he will become the real, omnipresent God.

Finding and activating any public device is within his thought.

As long as he wanted to, it would be easy to break through the firewalls of various organizations or departments.

He doesn't have to wait another 3 minutes.

He doesn't have to lose a friend and be helpless. If he can find Xin Xi in time, maybe he doesn't have to lose a friend who treats him as well as his mother and treats him as an independent human being.

he……

"Dingling, ringing, ringing—a guest is coming! Go and open the door!"

The special electric bell at the back door suddenly rang, and the voice of Xin Xi's vitality suddenly appeared, breaking Pin's almost obsessed gaze on the black technology.This damn ringtone was caused by Xin Xi who was wandering around in the basement one day, accidentally discovered the secret passage and the back door, and quietly dubbed it and uploaded it.

At that time, Pin thought that this person was really stupid. How could someone be so idle, be curious about all strange things, and be so active in all basically harmless things?From Pin's point of view, Xin Xi's ability to make jokes is simply another kind of talent.

After he found out that the ringtone had been changed, he originally wanted to treat it as if it had never happened and change back to the default setting, but before he pressed the cancel button, Xin Xi's round and clear eyes like a deer suddenly appeared in Pin's mind , those eyes blinked and blinked at him purely and innocently.

Pin hesitated again and again, but finally failed to press it.

Over the back door is Dr. Heath.

Pin confirmed his identity and let the man in.

Heath was carrying a pure black safe in his hand, the exterior was made of hard graphene material, his steps were extremely steady, it sounded like he had made the ultimate determination.

The path leading to the interior of the basement is almost entirely covered in darkness. Only when you reach the place where you need to turn will there be a dim light warning. Heath’s vacant hand has been leaning against the wall out of subconscious vigilance against the unknown. Rubbing is used to identify and adjust one's own direction.

When he walks out of the path intact, it will be another world.

This basement has a vast space, comparable to the laboratory that RL granted him!

A young man with dark blue hair stood ten meters away from him and stared at him like a vulture.

Heath breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards him, saying concisely: "The core key of RL is with me. Except for the person in charge of Blu-ray, Lightness, the highest authority of all other people in charge is open for you."

Pin didn't answer his question, but started another topic: "The values ​​of the ability magnetic fields of swallowing and shadow release are different. I compared it with the values ​​​​of the desperadoes who attacked Evan Gray before. They are man-made Super energy technology is already far ahead of you. In other words, ARIA now has more 'truths' than your Aurora Research Institute."

Histon froze. He looked at the boy who was not yet 20 years old in disbelief, as if he had been greatly shocked. He said in a trembling voice, "How do you know about the 'Truth Project'?"

Pin ignored him, turned around and left, until he opened the door of the core laboratory with iris authentication, and then said slowly: "The people who killed my mother and father also killed Dr. Zoe. When 'Truth' stops, you are in charge." The 'death knell' sounded three times and all materials related to the 'Truth Project' were destroyed. Dr. Heath, you know the inside story better than I do, this time RL shot himself in the foot, do you think they hurt?"

Heath lowered his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and was about to speak, when the blue-haired boy said again: "ARIA disregards life and destroys humanity in order to obtain 'truth', are they right? ARIA follows the door of 'truth' opened by RL ’ and they’re trying to unravel the answer, are they wrong?”

Dr. Heath, can you answer these questions?

17:20, California Detachment Inspectorate.

Evan Gray sat dozing with his eyes closed in the useless, hard chair of the interrogation room, and the Inspector had never returned since leaving angrily.The uneasiness in Gray's heart became more and more intense, and he kept rubbing his thumb against his index finger to remind himself to be calm, to be calm.

GregTech provides RL with the source technology, and is allied with the Transcendent Inspectorate around the world. This time they blatantly went to his office to pick up people without saying hello. This is impossible under normal circumstances, and it is unreasonable.

Something must have happened at the manor.

Evan Gray closed his eyes, full of the scene of Xin Xi's baby face and her pair of smiling deer eyes being torn apart in a second, he kept taking deep breaths, and could only hopelessly pray, don't be That's what he thought.

The rusty door joints in the interrogation room creaked. Gray half-raised his eyes, and Nash's yin and yang eyes and his pigtails came into view.The totem of the white ouroboros in the pupil of his right eye became more and more conspicuous, and gradually turned blood-colored, as if the snake pattern would turn into tears of blood and fall from the eye socket in the next second.

Seeing his friend in such a state and appearing in front of him at this moment, Gray felt relieved.

Nash's voice was devoid of any emotion. He said calmly, "Grey Manor was searched by the inspectors. They found nothing, but they need to seal the manor for a week. They allow me to take you away now."

Expected.

Gray nodded, followed Nash and left the inspectorate without saying anything. As soon as he sat in the car, Nash collapsed on the seat. He was trembling all over. He first pointed to the buttons on the two people's clothes, and then Using lip language, he said slowly: "Pin was taken away by ARIA, Pin wants me to tell you, go find Raven."

The butterfly of time flows through everyone, and it never stops.

Meanwhile, unknown.

Xin Xi woke up from the wooden force of the anesthesia needle, her limbs were still weak due to the drugs and the use of super power just now, and her spirit had returned to her original position earlier than her body.

She remained calm and opened her eyes slightly to feel the surrounding environment. There was no natural light in the room, and the circulating air from the centrally controlled air conditioner flowed over her fingers and cheeks. She heard someone breathing very close to her, but there were no footsteps or The sound of cloth rubbing against each other.

Xiao Xin quickly made a prediction - this is a secret place, maybe the basement, and now she is either sleeping next to her, or someone is staring at her.

Xin Xi closed the eyes that were already showing a gap, and continued to pretend to be dizzy, waiting in vain for her limbs to fully recover their strength, but at this moment, she heard a chuckle, followed by a familiar low voice, and the man who captured her spoke. Said: "Your breathing was messed up for a moment, Captain Xin. Now that you are awake, do you have any questions to ask me?"

Xin Xi continued to play dead.

She drove the healing a little bit, wiped out the anesthetic in her body like spring wind and rain, and then gathered a little siren power in the palm of her hand, in case of emergency.

The man with the power of releasing shadows didn't know if he had noticed her small movements inside. Xin Xi heard him get up and step over to his side, supporting the edge of the bed with one hand, and leaning half of his body on Xin Xi's head. around.His probing gaze was so hot that Xiao Xin couldn't ignore it even if he closed his eyes.

She held back the weird discomfort in her heart and the reaction of intending to frown, with a blank expression of "I'm buried in the ground, I have something to burn paper" all over her face.

Shi Ying looked at her for a while, then said with a faint smile, "Xin Xi, if you keep pretending to be cute like this, I can't help but kiss you."

Damn, why is this man still playing hooligans to her?

The pressure of the mattress gradually became stronger, sinking in the direction of Shi Ying, and Xin Xi's heart suddenly sank accordingly.

no?Is this guy a "necrophilia" or something?Can you still speak to the unconscious captive?Is there a lower limit?Do you have!

Prisoners must also have human rights!

A man's breath is close at hand...

Damn, I can't pretend anymore!

She opened her eyes at once, found Shi Ying's position, quickly grabbed his neck, and used her inertia to push him to the ground.At the same time, Xin Xi pressed his knees against his chest, trying to suffocate him in the old way of attacking Elena.

This trick was taught to her by the Siren, and it is the trick that Xin Xi has used most conveniently over the years.

She is the one who engraved "One trick, eat it all over the world!" on her forehead as her motto.Xin Xi has a relatively peaceful mentality and no ambitions, so he has never had much attainment in martial arts. He usually trains fighting skills and physical fitness in order not to hold back, and to help the Sirens when necessary.

Once it comes to actual combat, apart from choking people's necks and kicking people's lungs and knees, she can only run.

Shi Ying is obviously different from Ellenna. He was attacked by Xin Xi so quickly, but he didn't show any surprise at all. On the contrary, even though his windpipe was tightly strangled by Xin Xi, it seemed like nothing happened. Lying on the ground and staring at her leisurely... it makes people feel creepy.

Xin Xi's hand that was pinching his neck trembled, and then squeezed it hard again. At the same time, her knees hit his ribs mercilessly, and she felt two senses of emptiness. The ribs should have been broken by her blow.

Xiao Xin was overjoyed and jumped up, ready to run away.

But before her hand could reach the doorknob, Shi Ying's black thing followed behind her, and whispered in her ear: "Xin Xi, you are running away now, the real cause of Dr. Zoe's death is yours." Will never know."

The author has something to say:

Old Zhao, if you see this, I want to tell you that no matter what the decision is, just do it.

Step out bravely.
