sin of lumen

Why on earth would a smart man who can play tricks on all experts, celebrities and dignitaries be arrested on his own initiative?Lu Ting was puzzled.No matter what logic or consensus is reached, he should not give up his freedom.But Deng Mochi stood up so blatantly. In the barren mountains in the lower reaches of the Saxon River, which looked like prehistoric giants, he was alone facing dozens of armed helicopters forming a circle in the sky. one of them.

In Lu Ting's view, this is arrest.

It is true, "delivery to your door".

At that time, Lu Ting was also hovering over the canyon, and an insignificant wingman squeezed him and several of his colleagues.At the height where he was assigned to be on duty, it was necessary to increase the magnification of the eyepiece to see Deng Mochi clearly.The tiny imaging point was enlarged into a person, and in the dust, the hem of the man's large turtleneck sweater was rolled up by the airflow, and the shadow of the propeller cast down, splitting the black and white of his body.

The crab-colored steel muzzle is a special device for criminals with mental illness, similar to the style used by Hannibal in the movie, it looks fierce, as if it was made, it is specially used for ogres and beasts Body...it covers all expressions.Only those eyes were left, looking lazily ahead, the half-open door of the helicopter, and the bullet hole beside the door.

Deng Mochi was caught between two rows of machine guns and did not resist.

Lu Ting heard the announcement "The suspect has been safely contained" from the headquarters in the headset, and repeated it three times.His barely breathable police shirt was soaked in cold sweat.

This is the second day since the power outage.

Deng Mochi, no, to be precise, "mysterious man N", was temporarily detained in the central detention center, not under Lu Ting's jurisdiction at all.However, he was able to inquire about a lot of relevant information. For example, N was indifferent to all the tests conducted on the first day of his arrest. He refused to answer any questions. He even didn't explain, didn't express his position, it can be said that he didn't enter into oil and salt.

For another example, after a day in prison, the power outage that N said "once every three days" came as scheduled.The protection program urgently developed during the last maintenance has almost no effect, because the virus has completed its self-upgrade when it launched a second attack on the power grid. , the attack will be the third-generation virus that has been upgraded for secondary maintenance.

N still didn't intend to make a speech. He simply said that if the president doesn't come to meet, the blackout will continue.

This word has become extremely provocative when it reaches Lu Ting's ears. A pair of countless, the more calm the "one", the more the "innumerable" feel ridiculed, offended, and even feared.

"When it's time to go to prison, let's see how arrogant he is!" another police chief who was at the same level as Lu Ting yelled.

Lu Ting got the news from the population, it seems that he should smile and echo a few words.But he didn't answer.

The next day, the news broke before Lu Ting woke up, and the mysterious person N was moved out of the original central detention center at midnight.That day Lu Ting went to the police station without even ironing his clothes. His uniform was wrinkled, and there were more and deeper wrinkles in his heart.Next stop will be the courts?execution ground?Or a new place of detention?He didn't feel at all that his father would uphold justice in this matter, so when he found out the truth, he didn't know whether he should be thankful or worried—the new cell where Deng Mochi was placed turned out to be the famous "Volcano Capsule" ".

The volcano capsule is located in Crane Prison in the northeast corner of DC.It is a special place for felons, military spies, and terrorists. It is different from the large-scale "empty mountain" at the lower level, with limited capacity, but more advanced insurance facilities, and of course it is not within Lu Ting's jurisdiction.

The so-called capsule is actually a long and narrow prison cell made of high boric acid glass, suspended about 600 meters above the Clan Bayer crater, near the center of the circle.Contrary to the Xingu Volcano, which is far away from the southwest corner of the special zone, the circular mountain pass is not filled with green lake water with floating ice all the year round, but hot lava.With the current activity of Clan Bayer, it is not uncommon for magma to be sprayed to a height of tens of meters, and the danger is far more than that-as long as the prisoner makes the slightest movement, such as trying to break the shell to escape from the sky, the glass cabin will automatically Initiate emergency procedures and plunge into the lava with its captive before the thick pod ruptures.

Due to the high running costs, there is only one capsule and it is not often used.The most recent time was four years ago, when it shut down a mad scientist who tried to tamper with the program and shoot the atomic bomb stored in the entire equatorial belt into the sky.

Lu Ting sat on his newly replaced office chair that didn't smell of creamy sweets, read the information one by one, and was stunned for a while.But it was only for a short while, no more than three to five minutes. It seemed that nothing could break his psychological defense. He firmly believed in the principle that the sooner he did it, the greater the initiative. He spent an afternoon getting the customs clearance documents. That night, he came to Clan Bayer.

Perhaps thanks to the gag, except for a small number of testers, not many people have seen the true face of the mysterious man N, of course, including those precious characters who participated in the land and shore wedding. It seems clear that N and the president There seems to be no person related to the youngest son, and even if there was, they never jumped out to get in the way, so Lu Ting's visit went very smoothly.In his position, he signed a non-disclosure agreement after applying for it, just to meet a suspect. Every link is compliant and legal, and there is no need to list reasons.

Of course, Lu Ting can basically confirm that his father will not forget the male companion he brought out at the wedding, and no one will forget Deng Mochi's appearance just by looking at it.Even if his memory is bad, even if he hides behind the projection, his father must have observed carefully somewhere remotely, and even left a detailed audio-visual record.

He can also confirm that his father has seen N's face in these two days.

Then, of course, he himself is also within the scope of key surveillance—maybe this visit will be relayed to his father every second.But as long as he is not blocked, it is fine. Lu Ting removed the gun and communication equipment, handed them over to the prison guards, and got on the gravity car alone. There are only two requirements for himself: first, it is okay to have emotional fluctuations, but not to show them; Second, waste less time looking at people and observe the environment more.

The gravity car was pushed out of the starting track and approached the capsule slowly. The heat from the earth's core passed through the earth's crust and air all the way, reaching every inch of Lu Ting's flesh.He felt that the iron skin of the gravity car had begun to heat up, and the soles of his boots were also softening rapidly, as if they were about to melt. He also realized that the previous rules of disregarding others were unrealistic, and Deng Mochi was right in front of him. , Deng Mochi was getting closer and closer, Deng Mochi sat cross-legged on the empty glass floor, raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on his face.

Those eyes still look at people the same way, straight, lukewarm, just an objective observation.The steel muzzle is still there.Its tight lip design hinders the opening and closing of the lips, and also makes the conversation difficult. Although Lu Ting has a prison-specific microphone pinned to his neckline, he can shout into the capsule, but he cannot get an echo.

Squeezing his sweaty palms, Lu Ting said the planned line: "How are you doing recently?"

He thought his tone and speed of speech were moderately calm.

Dun Mochi sat up straighter, leaned against the side wall of the capsule, and put his handcuffed hands on his thighs.

Lu Ting saw the beads of sweat on his eyebrows, and his bangs were also wet, sticking to his sweaty forehead darkly.Above Dun Mochi's head was the white cold light inside the capsule, his chin, arms, and the corners that should have been shadows reflected raging fire.A distance of several hundred meters is not worth mentioning for a volcano with a diameter of thousands of meters.This roasting state has lasted for nearly 24 hours.But it won't be too long, boss, you need to wait for me for a while... Lu Ting looked at Dun Mochi and thought, but what he said was: "You want to say goodbye to me, I thought you were just bored, I didn't expect you to do this kind of thing.”

"I didn't expect it to be you when I heard the global broadcast, but now seeing is believing." He smiled again, "I'm a policeman, and many people gossip when I take up this position. I have such a relationship with you. It's really getting in the way of my work."

Deng Mochi remained the same and didn't respond, but Lu Ting could see confusion in his eyes - he blinked his eyelids slowly twice.Lu Ting took a breath, his sitting posture was as relaxed as before, his legs were crossed carelessly, but he bit his tongue in his mouth.He felt pain, not just the tip of his tongue, but also the big part of his heart that had been empty all the time. He didn't know how Deng Mochi would feel when he heard these words, and whether he would believe it, but he himself was in pain enough, and his head was full of pain. All sober.

He stopped staring at Dun Mochi and began to observe his surroundings patiently.That capsule is the real enemy, and it is what needs to be clarified as soon as possible.Lu Ting controlled the gravitational car and turned around it. The micro-recorder installed in the second button of the suit also recorded what he saw frame by frame.

Then Lu Ting left, and the visiting time was only 10 minutes, and he didn't want to show his reluctance at all.Sitting on the gravity car on the return trip, he didn't even turn his head, just lowered his eyes loosely, looking at the rolling black and red beneath his feet.The thousand-degree heat wave accompanied by sparks seemed to burn up at any time, melting his innocent shell, and then rolling him down fiercely.

In fact, there is no need to look back, Deng Mochi must be the same as the last time he saw it just now, he probably didn't move at all, as if they really didn't know each other.The acting skills are also great, Lu Ting felt that when he met again, he had to tell him how irritating and sexy that look was.

As for the muzzle...it's actually quite sexy.

But this sentence is something Lu Ting would never say.

Doomed to be sleepless that night, Lu Ting drew many pictures, including capsule structure diagrams, road maps, and schedule diagrams.He almost engraved the thousands of seconds stored in the recorder in his mind, and when he closed his eyes, the lines reflected by the fire appeared in front of his eyes.In the early morning of the next day, he made an appointment with He Zhensheng to meet at noon, and asked the person to wait for him to pick up the phone instead of coming to see him. Then he received a video call from Lu Bingyi.

"Did you meet yesterday?" Father was drinking coffee in the sun with a kind face.

"Yes." Lu Ting shaved the already sparse stubble, and said indifferently, "After all, we have been together for so long, and I also want to see how he has tossed himself into recently."

"When did you break up?"

"It was a few days after the big brother's wedding. I can't remember. There was a big fight for no reason," Lu Ting said, spreading the soap bubbles evenly. He was afraid that it would be too thin, and he would scratch himself when he lied. Showing off the trembling hands, "It seems that they are indeed not the same people. You can see who is suitable, and then introduce to me."

"I've been in a lot of trouble lately. Let your sister introduce you. Your ex-boyfriend has made everything unsafe. There were explosions and short circuits. Before it could be repaired, the power went out again," Lu Bingyi said, rubbing his temples. , "What's going on with the young people nowadays."

"Are you going to meet him?"

"See, of course I see, it's almost enough," Lu Bingyi sipped his coffee, "This afternoon. Let him clean up his mess, and use the brainwashing device and the like. Do you feel distressed?"

"Whatever you want," Lu Ting smiled foolishly, "I don't want to live in the dark every three days."

After turning off the camera, Lu Ting resumed his expressionless face, facing the mirror, and continued to scrape the small piece left on the side of his left cheek.With only two movements of the hand, the milky white foam penetrated bright red.

He propped his hands on the edge of the sink, staring fixedly at the fine droplets dyed pink on the clean ceramic bottom, and began to regret that he didn't listen to Lucy's advice and use an electric razor.

Lu Ting had no way of knowing the details of the meeting between his father and Deng Mochi.But he heard that Lu Bingyi believed what he said, and those instruments were indeed not left idle, they were all used on Deng Mochi.However, they didn't seem to reach a consensus in the end, because the red alert for the power outage was not cancelled. When my father came out of the government building that night and faced the media cameras, his brows were still furrowed and his mind was heavy.

He also knew that Deng Mochi was still alive after what he had gone through.

Then he himself has no reason to hesitate in the quagmire of emotions.The more time dragged on, the more uncontrollable what was going to happen to Deng Mochi, such as another power outage dozens of hours later—would the capsule be affected?Will it stop running and levitate directly, and fall?So even so, even if the power failure will kill him, is Deng Mochi still unwilling to give in?Lu Ting can't understand his persistence for the time being, just as he can't figure out his purpose of stepping into a trap and getting himself imprisoned, these things can be put aside, what Lu Ting has to do now is to take him out of the oven, Let him suffer no more.

At about ten o'clock that night, Lu Ting sneaked into Kelan Prison alone. His identity magnetic stripe helped a lot—he didn't need to mention all the checkpoints, and he didn't want to hide himself. After doing this, he didn't plan to turn back. .But this time, it is not the gravity car that is used to approach the capsule, but the iron pipe connecting the capsule.The pipeline is usually used to transport clean oxygen and deliver food, and it is very narrow. Lu Ting's figure is already small, but he has lost a lot of weight recently, so he still can't wriggle in it, and he can't wear thick clothes. Squeeze firmly against the inner tube wall, push with your elbows and palms, and push with your feet.It took him about eight minutes to traverse a distance of 8 meters and poke his head out of the capsule's vent.

"Hush." ​​He smiled at Deng Mochi, that man was sober and tidy, and this horrible day did not break his spirit, which reassured Lu Ting a lot and increased his confidence in himself.He landed lightly, and fastened the man's handcuffs to his belt with the holster and dagger attached with his red-hot hands. The high-strength tungsten steel rope can withstand three tons of tension.

The siren had already exploded, and there were intruders appearing on the surveillance screen. More than a dozen muzzles were aimed at the transparent capsule. At the same time, Lu Ting also knelt up straight and aimed his muzzle at them, according to the original estimate. , with the thickness of the glass...Due to the involvement of the handcuffs, Deng Mochi had to stick very close behind him. Although the hot air he exhaled was blocked by the muzzle, the hair and the sweat on the hair still brushed against Lu Ting. the nape of the neck.This made it difficult for Lu Ting to carefully recall the previous calculations.

"You're hotter than I thought!" he said, pulling the trigger.The gun battle started, Lu Ting stood in front of Dun Mochi through the side wall of a capsule, hurry up, hurry up, aren't you in danger of breaking the wall and falling?You won't be broken and hold us in mid-air to get shot!He yelled at the capsule in his heart, and replaced it with another magazine. The sound of the bullet hitting the high-strength glass was extremely ear-piercing, and the sound of the propeller was faintly heard. Lu Ting's sweat stung his eyes, and he warned himself not to panic , even if the helicopter comes, he is not without chance of winning.

Fortunately, the cracks on the glass appeared before the helicopter, the falling, the weightlessness, the sudden heat approaching the crater of the active volcano... These feelings surged, and Lu Ting was forced to fall on his back by the gravity. Deng Mochi was behind him as a cushion, Although she couldn't hug him, she used her legs to hold him in front of her.The superimposed fall of the two seems to be more stable than the separation. This gave Lu Ting enough courage to hold his wrist and continue to aim at the breakthrough gun just now. Finally, the glass broke, and the crack spread within a second, and the capsule followed. disintegration.

Lu Ting put down his hand panting, and the empty gun slid down, rolling in the heat waves and flames like him.And he and Dun Mochi were sticking together, sometimes he could see screaming people and helicopters from high places, and the shooting seemed to have stopped over there, because if they fell like this, they would definitely die, but Lu Ting didn't feel the slightest fear , This was even the most stable moment in his heart in recent days, he was in Deng Mochi's arms, and Deng Mochi was behind him.

He Zhensheng's voice came from the headset that was about to stop working due to the high temperature: "Don't move around, I'm aiming at you!"

Lu Ting thought, great, it's done, it's finally coming to an end.

After falling nearly 400 meters, they landed on the soft cushion, together with a lot of glass shards.Lu Ting knew that no matter how soft it was, it would be very painful. He wanted to turn away and put himself under Deng Mochi, but Deng Mochi pushed him back.Deng Mochi was placed under him in the end. The cushion was leaked by the glass and quickly shrank. Fortunately, it was supported by Aldebaran-b, but Aldebaran-b was invisible, as if it were transparent. He Zhensheng opened the circle When the two of them were pulled in, it was as if a round hole had been opened out of thin air, leading to a different-dimensional space.

"It's really invisible!" He Zhensheng quickly closed the hatch and ran back to the bridge, "I thought you made it up."

"I will make up this kind of thing?" Lu Ting leaned in front of Dun Mochi, with his back facing the steel rope from which he was uncuffing the handcuffs, "Aldebaran and this spaceship are equipped with the latest background reflection panel technology. Coupled with the visual error caused by the high-temperature airflow, we are completely invisible from above. The radar is also shielded, and both angles are invisible."

The spaceship tilted and climbed rapidly, He Zhensheng said from a distance: "You have quite a deep research on this!"

"Because I always wanted to disappear." Lu Ting smiled. He looked at the monitor on the side of the hatch. The fire was moving away, the temperature of the hull was also dropping, and the crater and Crane Prison were being destroyed at supersonic speed. throw off.

They climbed up against the side wall of the volcano, located at the very edge of the special zone, separated by a line between the bustling and the dark, and it didn't take long for the night to accept them more gently.

Lu Ting exhaled hot air, lifted the neckline of his tight T-shirt, took off the broken glass embedded in his palm, wiped the sweat from his face, the rope buckle had been untied, and before bandaging the wound and sawing off the handcuffs with a grinding wheel, he had to hug Dun Mochi took a good look, because he couldn't stand it for a second.

So he turned around and knelt down, facing Deng Mochi upright, took off that annoying mouth cover, gently stroked the red mark on that cheek with his fingertips, and smiled softly: "Thank you just now, boss , did you fall in pain?"

Dun Mochi avoided his hand: "Why save me."

Lu Ting was taken aback, his fingers froze, and the hug stopped in his arms: "They have already been brainwashed and don't know what to do next. Am I disrupting your plan or—"

Deng Mochi remained calm, looked at him cautiously, and interrupted: "I know you, right?"

Lu Ting's legs slipped, and he sat back on the floor from his heels, his scorched arms were pressed behind him, supporting his body.His eyes narrowed, then suddenly widened, trembling against the light, slowly becoming distracted, then quickly focused, and regained consciousness with all his strength, he took a deep breath, showing the expression of being stabbed.

It all makes sense.

Previous indifference, avoidance, indifference.And those phone calls, text messages, and long messages that never came back.

"Hey, did I hear you right?" The spaceship has already risen to a height that is convenient for flying, and the spaceship has straightened its hull and started to move forward steadily. He Zhensheng asked with a loud voice, "Brother Deng, what's the matter with you?"

"My surname is Deng?" Deng Mochi blinked again.

"Yes, your surname is Deng, and your name is Deng Mochi. You are friends with us, the kind of life-changing," Lu Ting looked at him intently, his eyes were calm and full of water, he seemed to be heartbroken, and already, In the next second, he spelled it back seamlessly, "Please believe me."
