gray manor

The unknown, the hinterland.

Waking up after being knocked out for the second time, Xin Xi found herself lying alone on an unfamiliar bed, without any familiar faces around her. She immediately understood that her plan B had also failed.

Instead of struggling meaninglessly, she sat up and looked down, her clothes had been changed again.Xiao Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he touched the pockets of his clothes and trousers, and found that the small pendant was still there.

fortunately.

While Xin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help thinking, could it be that the little doll of the Sphinx would recognize the owner?The cards have been shuffled twice, and it still follows her side by side. This thing is really unconscious, isn't it a living thing?

She sat cross-legged on the bed calmly, pinching the doll while observing her surroundings.

This room is similar to a prison cell, with only a bed and a stool. Three walls are pure white, and the other side is a single-sided glass that allows the outside to see the inside but the inside cannot see the outside.No natural wind can be heard around, and the artificial light is as bright as day. It seems that this is still a basement, the kind of luxurious and enlarged version.

Xin Xi has no doubt that there is a shielding magnetic field here. The basement already has a unique environment. ARIA, the organization that took her away and exchanged it, must have their perfect precautions.

She didn't intend to struggle with all her strength at this time. When someone came in later, it was best for her to play by ear.

Sure enough, within 2 minutes, the door on the side of the bed was opened, and two pale people in white overalls came in.

Xin glanced at them, and made another assessment of the environment here—technicians who haven’t seen sunlight for a long time, ARIA occupies a huge share of illegal drugs in the black market, it seems that this place is very likely to be them The underground mental hospital or human research center.

Probably did not expect Xin Xi to be so calm, the two researchers were at a loss for a moment, and the three of them just looked at each other for a minute.

Xin Xi smiled inwardly and said, Freak.

"Why hasn't the person who wants to see me come yet?" She raised her chin with a rare haughty expression.

The white coat on the left replied to her, "We are taking you to see the teacher."

Xiao Xin frowned: "You have snatched me here like this, why can't you condescend to come over to see me in person, I've traveled so long, I'm exhausted!"

Hearing what she said, the white coat on the right thought for a while and said, "If you are really tired and don't want to walk, I can prepare a wheelchair for you."

Xin Xi choked on this overly considerate service, then nodded and said: "Okay, please prepare a better one, preferably electric, the one that can be controlled with one hand using the joystick."

The white coat shook his head regretfully, "Sorry, we only have simple wheelchairs here, I can push you there."

This person... is quite sincere.

Xin Xi didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and said "yes", and waited for someone to push the wheelchair over and take her away like a grandfather.

Sitting in a wheelchair on this journey, Xin walked around and found that the layout here was indeed similar to a scientific research institute or a mental hospital. The corridor outside the room was empty, except for a door with surveillance cameras on it, just like the room she was in. Window door.

From top to bottom, there is a sense of imprisonment that "destroys humanity".

They took her out of a bedroom that was smaller than a hamster cage, and pushed her into a new world at the end of a long corridor.On the side of the door, people dressed like the people behind them shuttled densely in the square, like orderly and busy worker bees.

The ability level of these people is above B level, and the Xin Department predicted that the possibility of breaking out from them is less than 10%.

Captain Zhan Wuzha Xin immediately recognized the reality, glanced roughly, then lowered his head without interest, staring at his new slippers in a daze. The shape of this pair of plush slippers has changed into a light brown bear head.

The aesthetics and taste of ARIA are really hard to understand.

Passing through the busy square like a beehive, the two white coats stopped. Xin felt that another pair of strong hands took over the handle of the wheelchair. Looking back, it was Noah.

He smiled at her.

Xin Xi rolled his eyes: "The ghost lingers."

Noah shrugged and didn't answer, and pushed her to the long corridor on the left. The automatic doors opened on both sides. Under the fake fluorescent light, there was a person sitting quietly at the table with his back to them reading a book. Judging by his posture, it should be a person. middle-aged man.

This should be Blake, Xin Xi thought.

The man followed the sound and turned his head, and when he saw Xin Xi in the wheelchair, his brows frowned almost imperceptibly, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

Noah swallowed nervously, and explained: "Teacher, Captain Xin doesn't want to walk, that's why we made this decision, not..."

The man interrupted Noah's explanation impatiently before he finished speaking, but his tone was still kind: "Got it, you go out, Noah."

Noah left in response, leaving only two people in the room.

Xin Xi sat in the wheelchair calmly, didn't speak, just stared at the man.She was wearing a long white dress with bear-head slippers. She looked like a little girl who was taken to a strange place in her pajamas just after waking up. The defense in her eyes made her more suitable for this personality.

The man walked up to her with a smile, half bent down and said, "Xin Xi, hello. I'm Black."

"I've heard your name before, so you don't need to greet me, just tell me the purpose of your so much effort." Xin Xi raised his chin, looking at people with his nostrils like a lord.

"The antecedent is very long. Since you are so straightforward, let me give you a brief answer. Your mother, Dr. Zoe, left something on you, which is very important to me. May I ask you to give it to me? "

Blake's tone was very kind, but the content of the conversation was confusing.

"My mother left me with nothing but her genes, you want my life?" Xin raised her right eyebrows, she didn't know where the courage came from, but she felt that Black would not take it easily. Take her life, so the tone is very provocative.

"There's nothing special about your xx chromosome, I mean...others."

Black was getting closer and closer to her, making it impossible for Xin Xi to avoid his gaze. He had a pair of green eyes that were not vicious but had sufficient shocking power. Xin Xi had nowhere to hide, so he had no choice but to play eye contact with him.

"Then I don't know." Xin Xi shrugged indifferently, "My mother said that people are born and die alone, and they don't bring anything extra, and they won't take extra. It doesn't matter at all."

Xin Xi's sloppy tone made Blake stunned for a moment, his expression was no longer kind, but a serious big black face, and the two nasolabial folds were so deep that people couldn't ignore them.

Blake straightened his back and said firmly, "You will remember."

Then he snapped his fingers, and a man wearing a big hood whose face could not be seen came out from the small door on the other side of the room. He said dumbly, "Teacher."

This voice seems to have been heard somewhere before.

Black nodded, and pointed his right hand slightly downwards, the layout of the whole room changed suddenly like a magic trick!

Xiao Xin was a little familiar with this scene, she thought about it carefully in her mind, and then her eyes widened - this is the home she hasn't been back to for many years!

Black's figure has disappeared, but his voice faintly reaches Xin Xi's ears: "Remember, otherwise you will never be able to leave here, forever."

This is [Hallucinogenic]!The only person in the world who can use S-level hallucinogenic power is... Adam!

That man who refused to show his face was the red light Adam?He actually...

Forget it, at this time, there is no longer any objection to the question of whether to pursue betrayal or allegiance, and the guns are already aimed at her, so she can only bear it.

The brainwashing ability taught by him is really strong. Even Adam, who has won the RL Member Choice Award No. 1 for three consecutive years, can turn his back on the outside and be used by others.Xin Xi couldn't help thinking about those unreliable partners. Her place was so bad that she saw the blatant inner ghosts. Wouldn't RL be so chaotic that it would cause a crisis of trust?

Siren, after you rescue me, we will quit RL and do it alone. It is not something we can do to make trouble in muddy water.

Xin's desertion was blatant, and Blake roughly pushed her out of the wheelchair. She staggered and bumped into the arms of a woman with a big belly.

Of course, Xin Xi realized who was on the other side, she looked at the young version of her mother carefully, and said with a chuckle: "There is no use for you to do this, I was not born at that time, I know someone what?"

Black said quietly: "This is the memory that the hallucinogen found from your mother's relics. Now you just need to watch the development of this story with your own eyes."

"God talking." Xin Xi, the anti-corruptionist, naturally put his hands in his pockets, holding the Sphinx doll, trying to calm himself down.

No matter what happens, the present moment is the most real. These man-made illusions are all innocuous past. No matter what scene you see, don't believe it, don't substitute it, and don't feel it.

While taking a deep breath, Xin Xi said to himself in his heart.

Mexico City, outskirts.

The loess was flying, and three overturned cars caught fire not far away, thick smoke leaped into the sky, and in an instant, black clouds were pressing down on the city.

A woman was leaning back against a stone, panting weakly, and opposite her stood four people with very different styles, their auras could almost force her to stop breathing by an overwhelming advantage.

The death aura of "Unowned Chaos" shrouded Ellena's surroundings. Her originally beautiful and clean face was now covered with dust and bruised and swollen. All detached people of the same level have the power to fight, regardless of gender, just depending on the position.

Ellenna was naturally inferior to him in skill, so she was pushed to the ground and severely beaten.

The mycelium of the siren almost condensed into an image visible to the naked eye and hung behind him, the banshee representing death was looking at Elena's face with a smile, as if saying: "Come on, child, come to me Come here."

She was so frightened that she trembled all over, and looked away from the banshee, looking down, the siren's indisputable face was not as good as the banshee's expression, his eyes were red, the murderous heart became more and more intense, but his tone was full Does he care? "I'll ask again, where is Xin?"

No answer on the other side.

It's not that she doesn't want to answer, it's just that she really doesn't have the courage to speak. No matter who it is, it will be a little at a loss when facing death.

"You scared her."

A cold-looking oriental woman pressed the siren's shoulder, and the outline of the banshee faded.

"I can't speak out, we are imprisoned by words." Ellenna closed her eyes and didn't look at these people, she seemed to feel that this would make her feel better.

Jonathan nodded to the siren, confirming what she said: "One of the functions of teaching."

A voice came over the radio: "Connect her to the power grid, and I can get information from her brain."

After hearing this, Jonathan rejected this method without hesitation, "Pin, this is a life, you can't do this."

Pin sneered: "They may be killing another life now, and that life is still your teammate who fought side by side with you."

"Teaching can not only imprison people's words, but also confuse people's thinking. I don't recommend you to do this." The strange boy next to Jonathan who was a head and a half shorter than him suddenly said.

There was silence on the radio for a while, and Heath took over the conversation: "ARIA has three shielding fields that can be checked near Mexico City, maybe we can..."

"It's too late." The Siren interrupted, "If you don't want to startle the snake and let people transfer the Xin system to a more unknown place, we can't rush in and smash the scene. Spy on the three black market shielding fields, with our current manpower , as short as three or four days, as long as a week, and we can't guarantee that she is in these three shielding fields. Even if we are lucky, she is in these three shielding fields, then when we find someone, her blood will It has already been cleaned up."

There was silence on the radio for a while, and then Heath suddenly exclaimed, "What are you doing! Pin!"

"Siren, give me an hour."

The wireless signal was temporarily disconnected.

The siren glanced at Elena first, who shrank into a ball tremblingly, then turned his gaze to himself, the short boy, and asked plainly: "Sphinx, are you sure about her?" Is the breath around here?"

"Confirm." The boy nodded resolutely, "She sent a message for help to my doll, and I can still vaguely feel some remaining warmth, right here."

She is still alive.

The siren closed his eyes, forcibly adjusted his emotions, intending to suppress a part of the gradually berserk "Unowned Chaos", at least let him maintain some sanity.

When he is still, he is like a big tree.

Jonathan looked at him sideways, and the vague uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.

Siren is a mighty tree with luxuriant foliage and invincible, but a hole was left because a part of its trunk was eaten away by pests when it grew up.The wormhole was dark, deep, and silent, as if it represented the same lack in his heart.But after a long time, a squirrel appeared, her petite body was just enough to fill the darkness of the wormhole, her smooth fur was soft, and her movements of jumping up and down were vivid, and she stayed.

It's not that you can't live without the squirrel, but that after the squirrel leaves, no one can block the black wormhole in the siren's torso.

If a tree has a black hole as chaotic as the abyss, then it is not a qualified big tree, it will quietly mutate, and it will drastically...

Looking at the God of Death beside him, Jonathan always felt that with him by his side, it was as if the end of the world was close at hand.

One hour, neither long nor short, was enough for Siren to adjust his state, and enough for Pin to call again.

"The coordinates are sent to you."

The siren opened it and saw that it was not any of the three shielding fields at all. Sure enough, something like ARIA hiding in the dark would not have only three holes.

"Let's go." Siren grabbed Zhaoxi's body and jumped into the car, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and galloped towards the direction marked by Pin.

Jonathan knocked Elena unconscious in a calm manner, gave her another injection of sedatives enough for her to sleep for 24 hours, and then notified RL's duty officer to come and bring her.After doing all this, he took Sphinx into another car with peace of mind and approached the coordinates.

Pin’s voice appeared on the radios of the two cars at the same time, and he said: “There are very dense people there, I will be your guide. Also, I have used your personnel files to identify many former members of RL. I would like to remind you .”

No one knows how Pin magically connects to the car stereo, and no one is going to hold someone else accountable for the abuse of their powers at this point.

The whereabouts of the people who always ask for their care because of these abnormalities are unknown, and they are waiting for the magic soldiers to descend from the sky.
