Chapter 294 Trap
The moment the boy said the name James Moriarty, the door of a container behind him was kicked open, and a dozen fully armed execution force soldiers rushed in like a storm. Their figures looked cold and determined in the dim light.
A burly team member rushed towards Moriarty without hesitation, grabbed the back of his collar, and pressed his head hard on the hard table with a clean and neat movement.
After seeing Moriarty being arrested by the enforcement team, the tense atmosphere on the other side of the screen was instantly released. The staff members breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief on their faces.
Then, the other team members quickly dispersed and conducted a carpet search of the entire warehouse.
Then the rest of the execution team members immediately searched the rooms in the entire warehouse and rescued two medical department members who were covered in wounds and scared silly.
"Captain, the person is under control."
At this time, Li Muhan noticed that it was Yan Yu who walked into the room, followed closely by her adjutant.
Yan Yu's uniform was a little damaged and his hair was a little messy. It was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle.
She strode towards the screen, reached out and pulled Moriarty, who was still pinned on the table, up. She looked directly at Lin Ze across the screen and said, "Director Lin, the target has been captured. Mission accomplished."
Li Muhan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this incident had come to an end. Although the ending was not too perfect, especially when thinking about Qi Su...
He still doesn't know why Moriarty and Mu Ya found Qi Su, but fortunately Moriarty has been arrested, and he should be able to find out what happened afterwards from him.
But before the execution team could take Moriarty away, the boy barely held up his body and looked at the screen again.
"Wu Qin...as my best student, let me test you again."
Wu Qin had already given up on watching this farce. He was about to turn around and leave, being supported by medical staff. He stopped short after hearing Moriarty's words, then turned back to look at the screen and said coldly, "If you have anything to say, go talk to your interrogator yourself."
"One last question, Wuqin... If you feel your creation is still flawed, lacking a life form, then how can you make it perfect?"
Wu Qin couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes focused on the screen, only to see Moriarty facing his gaze with a calm smile.
This smile was like thin ice in winter, causing a chill in Wu Qin's heart, as if foreshadowing that some unpredictable change was about to happen.
Lin Ze waved his hand gently and instructed Yan Yu: "Okay, take him away."
Yan Yu responded and prepared to execute the order, but at this moment, Li Muhan keenly noticed something unusual.
Tiny cracks appeared on Moriarty's cheeks, as if fragile porcelain could no longer withstand the pressure and began to shatter. A deep, black aura quietly leaked out from those cracks, filling the air and making it suffocate.
Wu Qin seemed to have grasped some terrifying truth. He pushed aside the medical staff beside him and trudged towards the screen, his eyes burning with confusion and fear as he stared intently at Moriarty. "What on earth did you... do?!"
Moriarty remained calm, his voice reaching everyone through the screen: "You are my most perfect student and my most proud work. You should know exactly what I would do for my so-called perfection. We are of the same kind, Wuqin."
"Whatever you're going to do, get up now."
Yan Yu said this as he forcibly pulled the thin Moriarty away from the screen.
But that voice still lingered in the ears of Li Muhan and the others: "Wu Qin... I want to thank you very much. It is you who has allowed me to complete the perfect life I have always pursued."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned around in shock and looked at the mirror. They saw Mu Ya in the mirror looking at them and saying almost the same words as Moriarty.
"...You let.....Tai Sui....devour yourself!?"
Wu Qin's heart felt like it had fallen into an icy abyss. He had already anticipated the man's madness and knew that he was different from any other alien, but such a scene was still beyond his imagination.
For his own purpose, he would even let his own existence disappear...?
Yan Yu's voice suddenly came from the other side of the screen, full of panic and anger: "Wait...what did he do! Make him stop!"
However, Yan Yu in the video was too late to stop it. Although she had instantly opened her realm, Moriarty's frail body still exploded in an instant. A thick black aura surged out and spread rapidly. Then, the video link abruptly ended, and everything returned to dead silence.
At the same time, the mirror where Mu Ya was, or rather the projection of Moriarty, also shattered, as if disappearing along with his existence.
The smile on Lin Ze's face froze, as stiff as a sculpture, and he was shocked beyond words.
"Yan Yu, answer me." She held the walkie-talkie tightly, anxiously waiting for a response from the enforcement team. However, there was only silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, and no one could give an answer.
No one present had expected this. Things happened too quickly and no one had thought that the situation would take such a sudden turn for the worse. The staff silently turned their eyes to Lin Ze.
After Lin Ze called out to Yan Yu many times but still received no response, she put down the intercom and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, everyone present saw a different Lin Ze.
Her eyes were cold, her expression was murderous, and her whole body was filled with terrifying murderous intent, like a ghost or god.
Apart from the noisy rustling sound from the walkie-talkie, no one at the scene could say a word.
......
Two days later, Li Muhan posted Spring Festival couplets on the door of his apartment. Today is New Year's Eve, which is also the day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
Watching Li Muhan put up the Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu", Xia Yue stood aside and pointed at the word "Fu" and said, "It's upside down."
"You don't understand. This is called inverted blessing. It means that good fortune has fallen down and good fortune has arrived! Do you understand?"
"...I don't quite understand what the point is."
Looking at Xia Yue's puzzled expression, Li Muhan smiled bitterly. Although this vampire had been traveling in China for quite some time, it seemed that she had never really understood the cultural customs of this land. It seemed that he would have a lot to teach her in the future.
What happened two days ago seemed to be still vivid in people's minds. During the process of capturing Moriarty, the entire execution team fell into a trap, and the broken body finally exploded. Ironically, the black gas released after the explosion was the weapon used by the Special Management Bureau to suppress large-scale alien rebellion.
It will cause irreversible damage to aliens who inhale the mist, but will not cause much harm to the human body.
But the silver lining in this misfortune was that the execution force was not mainly composed of aliens, so in the operation two days ago, only four members of the execution force were confirmed dead.
only......
As cold as it sounds at this moment, this is indeed the best ending.
Lin Ze asked Li Muhan not to follow up on this case for the time being, so that Li Muhan could go home and have a good New Year, so now he has time to post Spring Festival couplets here.
But even though they didn't say it, Xia Yue and Li Muhan felt like there was a thorn in their hearts.
This thorn is called Moriarty, also known as Mu Ya. If they don't catch her, I'm afraid their hearts will always be tormented by this thorn.
