Case File Compendium

Xie Qingcheng was a captive given special treatment by Duan Wen.

He was locked in a separate compartment. Although his hands and feet were shackled, he was not chained to the wall like the others. There was even a bed, a desk, and a chair in this cabin.

Xie Qingcheng was lying on the bed, his head still hurting intermittently.

It's been a while since he woke up, and everything that happened before is spinning wildly in his head.Li Yun, He Yu, the attack of the Dream Breaker, Chen Man who was sent to the car...all these are linked together to outline an answer that is ready to be revealed.That answer made him extremely disgusted, but he couldn't escape it no matter what.

After he was locked in, he was very desperate at first.

He didn't know how He Yu was doing now.

I don't know the situation of other people, or even the whole battle situation.

He tried to ask the guard, but the guard was a clone of Lu Yuzhu, and she only obeyed orders. No matter what he said, she would not move outside, and human emotions were not hers.

Just when he was desperate, he suddenly discovered that the Fengbo system on his wrist hadn't been removed yet.

This is carefully refitted by He Yu, and it will not be detected by electronic detectors. From the outside, it is a simple leather bracelet, which is completely different from the one He Yu himself wears, so it unexpectedly Not found out.

As long as Feng Bo is still there, he can still communicate with other people.

With an attitude of giving it a try, Xie Qingcheng lay back on the bed, covering his eyes with his hands.In this way, to outsiders, he seemed to be acting out of desperation, but in fact, through this action, he was issuing instructions to Feng Bo's system with the softest voice and the most natural gesture.

He first tried to connect to He Yu, but failed. Feng Bo replied: "The user He Yu has disappeared from the line."

This answer made Xie Qingcheng's fingertips tremble slightly.

In this kind of combat connection system, the disappearance of a user means either death in battle or destruction of the bracelet. At this moment, Xie Qingcheng seemed to have returned to the day of the Guangzhou naval battle, the day when he could not help him...

He didn't know how much self-control it took to keep his emotions from collapsing.

He gritted his teeth, and said to Feng Bo System in a very light but trembling voice: "I see....Go to the headquarters."

The line to the headquarters is open.

"Xie Qingcheng? You are..." The commander-in-chief's astonished voice came from the other end of the line.

Xie Qingcheng said: "You should have seen it synchronously through Fengbo's camera, I am in the dungeon."

His voice was tired, but he couldn't stop for a moment.

"I don't have much time to communicate with you, and I don't know if there is a chance to communicate with you next time. Now you answer what I ask, and try not to interrupt what I want to say, okay?"

Commander-in-Chief: "...Okay. Tell me."

"Do you have any whereabouts of He Yu?"

"He lost contact, we couldn't contact him, we thought he was by your side."

"He's not by my side." The last bit of hope in his heart disappeared, Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes, trying to keep calm as much as possible.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he asked, "So, what about Chen Yan?"

The commander-in-chief said, "He's back."

"Really..." Xie Qingcheng said softly.

Chen Man would be sent back, after Xie Qingcheng made a rough guess, he no longer felt strange.This answer only confirmed his deepest thoughts even more.

"Well. After you destroyed the rapid cold light device, the network of Fengbo system was suddenly broken. At that time, I knew something must have happened on your side, so I immediately sent a group of people to go in your direction. As a result, halfway, Our support team came across a jeep."

"At first we thought it was an attacking vehicle, but no one in the vehicle opened fire." The commander-in-chief continued, "After the robbery, we found that the driver in the back seat was Chen Yan who was unconscious... the driver was a mechanical soldier and ran away... ..."

Hearing this, a strong sense of sadness suddenly came out of Xie Qingcheng's chest. He knew that he might never have a chance to contact the headquarters again. At this moment, Xie Qingcheng had no scruples.

He said to the commander-in-chief: "That's not a mechanical soldier at all."

The commander-in-chief still said to himself: "This incident is really strange. We once suspected that Chen Yan had been tampered with, but after checking all the instruments, he was found to be there. He was simply sent back. But why? Only him? What happened to you later?"

"..." Xie Qingcheng did not respond to the commander-in-chief. He took a deep breath and repeated: "Did you hear what I just said? That's not a mechanical soldier."

The commander-in-chief stopped, and there was a slight current in the bracelet.

"..."

"In the past three years, He Yu has told you all." Xie Qingcheng said, "He has told you many times that many of these surreal weapons on the island are fake, they are projections of virtual reality, they are The markings on the butterfly's wings were Mandela's cover for self-defense, to delay the development of a truly powerful weapon. None of you believed him."

"..."

"Because he is a lunatic, and because we have treated him badly, no matter what he says, no one will believe it."

Xie Qing said hoarsely: "But I saw it. I saw everything he described, and he never lied to you. Mandela Island is a semi-illusory island, through magnetic fields, noise, vision...etc. All of this is to deceive your perception. The driver who brought Chen Slow back is just a reformed person, nothing more."

"If you could have listened to him earlier, it would have been too late for a weapon like the Rapid Cold Light to be invented. Now that the Rapid Cold Light has been destroyed, there will be no such horrible things on this island. I would like you to let the follow-up two All three troops landed and ended this war as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the greater the variables will be."

The commander-in-chief said: "...Xie Qingcheng, do you know what you are talking about? Now let the second and third troops land directly. If there is any change, the whole army will be wiped out."

"You won't have any problems logging in now." Xie Qingcheng said, "Can you let go of your inherent cognition and trust us this time?"

"..."

"He Yu may have fallen into Duan Wen's hands now." Xie Qingcheng panted, "You must have known that he is a blood gu. To be honest, I am very worried about him now. It is impossible for Mandela to have been unaware that you are a double agent, but they have kept him. I don’t think this is normal. Now it seems that the only reasonable explanation is that his use value makes Mandela Don't want to give up."

The ceiling in the cell was low and oppressive.

Xie Qingcheng stared at the top of the sky and said: "You have seen the power of the blood gu. I am worried that they will capture him after the rapid cold light is destroyed, because only he can replace it and become a new killer Tool...you told me before that they were testing a blood gull diffusion device, and it's probably that thing."

"But they haven't moved yet—"

"They haven't moved yet, it just means that they are still unsuccessful for some reason, but it won't take too long." Xie Qingcheng said at the end, his hands clenched into fists, bloodless, "It won't take too long Yes, do you understand? Three years ago, you didn’t believe in He Yu, so there was a sudden cold light. Can you trust me again in three years? Don’t let new weapons appear again. Don’t let He Yu stand opposite us Don't let him get hurt again. Don't let your people sacrifice any more."

His voice quivered like a candle.

"Just this once, okay, sir."

The commander is opposite, and it has been a long time since he answered.

Xie Qingcheng couldn't see his face, in fact he couldn't see anything except the pitch black ceiling in front of him.

His heart was beating violently in his chest, and his blood that had flowed for 34 years gave him the courage to say all these words to a man who was in the same profession as his parents.

Almost begging for help.

Xie Qingcheng murmured, "Even if it's just this once..."

The sound of footsteps came from the other end of the Fengbo system. The commander seemed to have gone to a quieter environment, and there were no other people around.

Then Xie Qingcheng heard him say: "Xie Qingcheng...Actually, it's not like I didn't believe it."

"!!"

"I believed it." The commander-in-chief sighed, "I have handled many cases over the years, and I understand that many truths are buried in the deepest part of the soil, and sometimes things on the surface cannot be believed at all."

"then you--"

"But I'm just a person who has been ordered to win. There are higher-ups above me, and higher-ups above the upper-level... Every decision of mine is considered by my colleagues and superiors. When watching the battle video in the office, will they believe a patient’s words and believe that it is fake? Even if they believe it, will they admit that this is a decision-making error caused by their inability to see the emperor’s new clothes?”

Xie Qingcheng suddenly felt a bucket of ice poured into his stomach: "You..."

A chill spread from his bones: "You actually believed it a long time ago, so He Yu once said that you were the only one who tried to investigate..."

"Yes. I have even tried to convince the people around me, the people above and the people below." The commander said, "What's the use? You think you are good, and I am also good, we can change people's Do I have an inherent thinking? Can I change a piece of military order and the morale of a hundred thousand soldiers? In the eyes of many people, I am just a tool that can be replaced at any time!"

"..."

"I understand your feelings, Xie Qingcheng. I don't want anyone to be cannon fodder in this battle, but when the cannon fire falls, there will be ashes. If I were in He Yu's position, I would also Will make the same decision and leave myself in ashes."

Xie Qingcheng was still dizzy in front of his eyes: "...is there no other way? It must be like this, follow the rules and orders...it must be like this...wait for Mandela to finish it Preparations for the battle, do you shed more blood...?! Isn't human life more important than an official's correct decision..."

The commander remained silent.

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes: "Is there really nothing to do..."

"Don't think about it, some things can't be changed even if you know the ending. Other methods will only be more difficult to achieve than this-"

When the commander's words came to this point, Xie Qingcheng felt as if a light suddenly shone in his heart.

He suddenly realized something: "Another way? What do you mean?"

"..."

"So there's a way, right?!"

The commander didn't have any hope at all, and just sighed: "Alas!... It's meaningless for me to tell you this, it's just a hypothesis, it is impossible for anyone to directly attack Huizhen without defense. see her."

"Why do you want to meet her directly?" Xie Qingcheng whispered, "Although this organization was established by her alone, the island is almost full of a group of inhuman lunatics, and there is probably no so-called loyalty and unity among them. What's the use of capturing the thief and the king? Could it be—"

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a creepy chill rushed up from the soles of his feet.

"—She is not only the head of state, but also the core key that they must not lose for some reason, right?"

The commander-in-chief didn't answer, but Xie Qingcheng was already in the torrent of information, and suddenly caught the key.He thought of He Yu once telling him that the commander-in-chief seemed to be looking into something about Duan Cuizhen.After a long silence, he opened his mouth: "Are you... Are you going to investigate according to the information He Yu gave you? You believe what he said, and you believe that there is indeed a general on the island that controls all energies. valve?"

"...Yes." The commander said, "At this point, you and I have no information to hide."

"I have been sending people to collect information from the dark all the time. And just a few days ago, I received the most precious and important piece of information I have so far——Huizhen belongs to the entire Mandela Island." Matriarch', as you said, the people she convened were a group of lunatics who had no concept of loyalty, filial piety or even human nature. How could she rest easy if there were too many lunatics, not worrying about them seeking power and usurping the throne, and letting them wholeheartedly support her? Used?"

"So she thought of a way." The commander said, "She probably implanted the most important chip in her brain. That chip is connected to the core power station on the island. Depends on whether her brain waves are still firing. It's the only on-off valve."

"That is to say, as long as her brain is still alive, the island's water, electricity, wind and heat... all the equipment that the scientific researchers cherish so much, and condensed their life's efforts, can continue to operate normally. Everything on Mandela Island , its main control valve is not a power station, not a water station, not any machine - but her own life!!"

The commander-in-chief paused and continued:

"Huizhen probably completed such a hook before forming this team. She adopted some kind of exquisite and crazy design, so that her brain activities were thoroughly bonded to this unworldly island. Transform the physical master valve that controls everything into a biological one. This island is not big, and it is still within a controllable range, so she has spent decades and finally managed to achieve this step. As long as she is alive, everything on the island can protected, and once she's brain dead..."

Xie Qingcheng's pupils constricted, and he already knew the answer: "Once she is brain dead, the brain chip activity will stop, the main valve will be closed, and the whole island will 'die' with her, all lights will be extinguished, all The machinery is no longer working, and everyone's scientific research results are destroyed in an instant."

"Yes, they were born because of her. They regarded her as their mother, so they were buried for her. She will not allow her Mandela world to fall into anyone's hands." The commander said, "According to my information, As long as she dies, the island will experience energy backlash within 10 minutes of a power outage throughout the island, and all the heat energy will converge to the core of the power station, and then——the entire island will explode and be wiped out.”

The commander finished speaking.

The last few words fell to the end, and then there was a long silence.

"Is that why Duan Wen has always come forward, while Huizhen hardly ever goes out." Xie Qingcheng said in a low voice, "Because not only she herself, but all the people on the island are afraid of her death. They Will defend her life with all my might."

"exactly."

Xie Qingcheng: "She integrated herself with the island..."

Commander: "She made herself one with the island."

In this way, the enemy must be very careful, and there will not be any loopholes that can directly attack Duan Cuizhen herself.

"So I said, this method is useless." The commander sighed, "We can only force it, I'm sorry, but..."

However, at this moment, Xie Qingcheng suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside!

"someone is coming!"

He was so excited that he didn't even have time to say anything more to the commander-in-chief, so he quickly interrupted the Fengbo system, took off the bracelet, and hid it in an even more inconspicuous pocket.

And as soon as he had done all this, the door of the dungeon opened.

A tall man in a black trench coat stooped in from behind the door.Putting his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, he raised his head, his facial features were as cold and steep as Cui Wei's Snow Mountain, his eyebrows were extremely arched, his nose was straight, and his whole body exuded a kind of slowness and composure.

Duan Wen, who finished examining He Yu, appeared in this cell.

"You seem to have just finished a conversation with someone." Duan Wen was followed by two bodyguards, all of whom were his loyal confidants.

He signaled the bodyguard to bring him a chair, straightened his clothes, and sat down in front of Xie Qingcheng.

The cell was dimly lit, so he raised his eyelids, looked at every detail of emotion on Xie Qingcheng's face, and said with a smile, "May I ask who Professor Xie is chatting with in this dungeon?"

"..."

"Li Yun didn't find the Fengbo system from you, but I don't think so."

Duan Wen was very polite, but there was an oppressive force in that politeness: "Take it out."

He paused, and added: "I appreciate you very much, I hope you don't force me to be rough on you."

Xie Qingcheng did not move.

Duan Wen raised his eyebrows, waited, and watched him.

Xie Qingcheng's peach-blossom pupils were calm, but his eyes that were so weak seemed to penetrate the thick painted skin wrapped around Duan Wen's body, cutting straight into the other's heart like a sharp bayonet.

He did not hand over Uncle Feng, but suddenly said:

"I used to admire you very much, Duan Wen."

"...What do you mean?" Duan Wen smiled.

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes, and when he said the next sentence, his chest hardly rose or fell.

"Or, should I call you directly, Chen Lisheng?"
